752, the NKP Berkshire waits on platform 2 for the road.

Under normal public operation, trains run straight into the station terminus.  A new loco(s) is then reversed onto the train having been turned on the triangle head-shunt behind the camera. The loco(s) trapped in the terminus are then able to follow the train out to the top curve point prior to carrying out this manoeuvre. Four locos (the Saint and Jubilee are always paired together) are the minimum needed to carry this out using both platforms thus as soon as one train arrives, the other is ready to depart
