Track layout at the Walthamstow Central end of the Victoria line?

[fv43576]

I never ask anyone or hear anything about what Walthamstow Central Station at end of the line look like? is there terminal end of line or loop go around or depot where all stock keep?
I don't see any picture what it looks like on website and no map of line in my 13th Rail Atlas

Just a dead end I believe with a crossover in front of the entrance to the station

both ends of the Victoria Line are simple dead ends with the crossover before the station and "over-runs" that are long enough to stable a unit overnight/in case of breakdowns. I suspect if built now they'd opt, if possible, for a Heathrow Terminal 5 Picadilly Line style with the crossover beyond the station, using one platform for arrivals and one for departures (also found at Bank DLR)

I have a feint memory that the line was originally to be terminated at Wood Street, (the next stop on the Chingford Line), and there was even a dream of extending it further eastwards to surface just before Woodford, creating an interchange with the Central line there.

They should extending it but it never turn out to build it. I think they should do now and would made travel more easy

Banks not quite like that for the DLR its more an upside down Y with both lines converging into a single headshunt then out again when the points change

The only difference is that Bank only has one siding, Heathrow T5 Picadilly has two. The latter is better as it means there's effectively a cripple-siding available. I think this is planned for Crossrail for the Paddington terminators?

The Heathrow arrangement is inefficient unless the line is so crowded that it is vital to separate the incoming and outgoing passengers. Thus, it works at Waterloo (Waterloo and City) and at Bank (DLR). The Brixton and Walthamstow arrangement is best to minimise the fleet size. Battersea Park will be similar to Brixton. Heathrow T5 was an aberration decided without proper analysis. If the Brixton style had been used there could have always been a train waiting which I believe most customers would have preferred.

Trains turning back at 'Paddington' will run as far as Westbourne Park reversing sidings, which will be on the surface nearly a mile beyond Paddington station, between the Crossrail up and down lines. This bears no resemblance to the situation at a typical underground terminus station.

IIRC from early descriptions of the operating procedures, to allow a 24 tph service without delays at Paddington for 'tipping out', terminating trains will be allowed to 'over carry' passengers to Westbourne Park and bring them back to Paddington later.

Additionally, the reversing sidings will be provided with basic platforms for use in emergency.

I find the comparison quite interesting because, for example, the Munich U-Bahn has traditionally used the 'Terminal 5' terminus setup - reversing sidings beyond the platforms - in extensions opened during the late 80s and early 90s . However since the Garching-Hochbrück extension (1995) all extensions on the U6 have used the 'Victoria Line' arrangement of reversing at the station platform, including the upcoming build to Martinsried at the south end. The same arrangement was also made with the temporary termini at Georg-Brauchle-Ring (U1) and Olympia-Einkaufszentrum (U3 low-level) in the last decade.
