Demonstrating "the shunt move" The Saint and Jubilee are reversing their train into platform 2 from the triangle shunt. This is an unusual move on public days and is only run on the first train of the day until 2 sets of locos are available. The newly steamed green can be seen on the shed road awaiting clearance to enter the station complex once the train has departed. It will then back onto the train when it returns (this time running straight into the terminus)
Note the complex point-work and switched diamond, all under power control and interlocked signal gantry
