Default Unusual terminal points on LU
wrote:

Have there been any examples in recent times of LU stations temporarily
becoming terminal points (e.g. because of engineering work) but which
are virtually never used as potential terminal points at other times
even when the timetabled service falls apart for whatever reason? Do
train and platform destination signs just show "Special" or something
similar when a really oddball terminal point comes briefly into
operation?

Liverpool St Inner rail (westbound) on the Circle during weekend engineering
work for an example.

As the trains are described as Circles to keep the signal computers happy,
the train describer would say "Circle Line" but gets turned off as to not
confuse people who have somehow managed to miss the several dozen notices,
public address announcements and staff advising them there is no train
service.
