This question was triggered by seeing LNER Azumas creeping through Finsbury Park station at around 10.30 yesterday (May 1st) as i waited for a delayed Stevenage on Pl.8.
An Azuma crept though Pl.1 (used by up suburban slows to Moorgate) Railway Track Diagrams calls this Up Slow 2 . Later, another Azuma (the same one?) slipped through what RTD calls Down Slow 2. I'd always imagined that trains that used the Down Slow 2 were being sent to the siding at Bowes Park and thence to Bounds Green for servicing. I could find no mention of these moves on RTT, just the comings and goings of regular services (including my delayed train). I looked on RTD to see if there was a route from Up Slow 2 to Down Slow 2 in the tangle of lines to the south of Finsbury Park but couldn't spot one.
