Then, the Wimbleware trains could be extended to Baker Street for
reversal. The Met. could run right thru to Barking, or beyond.
Edgware Rd would retain its layout. Circle Line trains would be held
there so as to maintain a clock face service.


*Can* you reverse trains from the Wimbleware line at Baker street ?
Where is the crossover ? Is there one betwixt there and GPS ?


It wouldn't be easy. There *is* a crossover just east of Baker Street
Junction that can be used for reversing trains. However, you'd have Mets
coming off the Met main and heading for Barking and Circles conflicting with
turning back Wimblewares, sitting for several minutes blocking the route
whilst the driver changed ends. Sounds like a recipe for chaos to me.
