Entry to Hornsey EMU Depot – North end?

A route can be set onto the Up Carriage Line from 454 (Up Slow 1), but not 458 (Up Slow 2). The former has a subsidiary aspect, the latter doesn't.

Without testing, I would assume that when exiting at Hornsey EMU Depot Up Carriage Line, the "Hornsey EMU Depot" location is used.

It all worked quite nicely. I'll have to remember and set the route via 454 for all trains into the depot from that direction, unless of coarse there is a conflict at Alexander Palace platform 2. Saves going all the way to the Harringay Reverse Siding, which didn't seem necessary to me.

It is necessary? I'll think you will find that the empty stock go through the train-washing plant from the Harringay Reversing Sidings end.

Actually, in this particular game, all the empty stock that goes to the train-washing plant originates from Kings Cross, with the usual final destination being Bounds Green Depot via Bowes Park Reverse Siding. I think that it must vary according to which of the different scenarios you're running.

Which end trains should enter depends on the operating practice within the depot. If trains are timetabled to reverse at Harringay and enter the south end, it's probably to make the depot itself flow more efficiently. Of course, if a failure would make that difficult, entering at the north end would be OK, but if the timetable shows it to enter at the south end, it should enter at the south end unless significant delay would result.
