Ok, here's one for you: At approx. 17.40 this eve, a Plym-bound HST was heading in approaching Tavistock Junction. The light was red just before you get to the yard, opp. my work. Noticing when the HST approached it was going on the tad fast side, I then noticed something else strange, it was running on the 'Up' line! Went past me (out having a cig at the time btw
), then via the points opp. the yard, went back on to the norm 'Down' line. Now, my first thought was 'Ok, must be a broken down train on the 'Down' line somewhere between just before Plympton & Tavistock Junction yard, hence why the HST was on the 'Up' line'. No sooner than the HST passed, & joined back onto the norm 'Down' line, a Voyager then approached, stopping at the red signal like it should. After all this, trains ran as norm. This has got to be one of the most strange workings I have seen on the railway. Now, does anyone know, or have any idea why this all occured??? Answers on a postcard please lol. :razz:
