When reversing west to east at Newbury Park does the train run in auto all the way to Barkingside.

Wait I'm confused by West to East, I would consider the directions North & South.
I'm assuming you mean trains terminating at Newbury Park from the South which don't run to Barkingside, they run into the centre track and then reverse back into the SB Platform.

Wait I'm confused by West to East, I would consider the directions North & South. Although there are many exceptions, which have already been covered more than once before on this forum, the general convention is to refer to directions based upon a given line's basic axis - the Central line runs east/west and so that's the way the whole line is referred to regardless of whether it might run north/south in a particular local area. Trains running from central London to Hainault, via Newbury Park, run eastbound. Trains from Hainault, via Newbury Park, to central London run westbound. Of course Newbury Park is also on 'the loop' and so this particular part of the Central line may also be referred to as inner rail & outer rail. I must admit I'm a little confused by the OP's question though - Newbury Park reverser's come from central London and thus reverse east to west. They don't go anywhere near Barkingside!!   |

West to East Reversing at NPK occurs during Special Working TTs, trains taken out of service and sent back to Hainault depot for whatever reason, usually 'cos they or the service is crocked. That road at NPK can be used as a siding and it can be used as a through road to Barkingside from either platform, but only when it's used as a through road will ATO be available. Access to it is via a colour light signal and not a shunt. Leaving it when it's used as a siding to go West is via a shunt...........
Actually on the loop it's either Outer or Inner as a train going from Snaresbrook Outer via Roding Valley is still going East and can carry on and go West, as sometimes they do, and a train leaving Wanstead Inner could carry on from Roding Valley and go completely West from Woodford just like my big tum and chins which have gone completely South. It all gets rather confusing at times, but it's all part of the fun. Here's another..............
"This is East Acton. If you're carrying on Westbound to West Ruslip or West Acton and Ealing Bdwy change here as this train terminates it's journey at North Acton in the Eastbound platform." Mass confusion all around as me n Ceiling Cat have a good larf.............

Perhaps a small graphic of each line and their nominal directions could be made and pinned in the important threads section?

I got off a train at Newbury park and noticed the green arrow signal to the right do the train went into the middle siding.
About 10 mins later it came back, stopped at the westbound platform and proceeded its journey.
What decides if a train terminates early at Newbury park?

What decides if a train terminates early at Newbury park? The signalman. If the train is timetabled to go to Hainault or Woodford but is running late, the signalman can overide the timetable to get the train back on time. |

NEP is not just for service recovery it's also used regularly to reverse trains every twenty minutes on Saturdays and Sundays. Possibly on weekdays as well, I'll have to check the WTT. |

The Service Controller decides if the train will terminates early to bring the train back to its timetabled working. |

NEP reversers all day on weekdays until the middle of the evening peak. |
