Default Bidirectional signalling and the DLR

Royston station is fully bidirectional, but only the station. A relic of
the King's Cross suburban electrification when the service forward to
Cambridge became a diesel shuttle.


Isn't that true of Worcester Foregate Street as well?


Well yes, but it's not quite the same thing. Royston station is fully
bidirectional, whereas Worcester Foregate Street has one platform that can
only be accessed to/from Worcester Shrub Hill and another that can only be
used by trains avoiding Shrub Hill. Glenrothes with Thornton station, in
Fife, is similar.
