Apologies if a thread like this has already been created but what has happened to the Debden turn back? I'm a regular user of the Central and I haven't seen a train terminating at Debden in a long time. Do they just happen to terminate at Debden and use the turn back for the first/last trains?

The 0741 0817 M-F trains start from Debden siding, although run empty eastbound from Loughton sidings |

Apart from the trains mentioned in the previous post, Debden reversers were removed in WTT 70.

Apart from the trains mentioned in the previous post, Debden reversers were removed in WTT 70. WTT 70 increased the number of Loughton reversers with "step backs" and at Loughton you don't need a member of station staff to assist with detraining. The only time you'll see Debden reverses under WTT 70 is if there's late running. |

Back in the day, there were two sidings at Debden. Newbury Pk too.
They all were dead end sidings unlike now when you can take passengers through them.

I've been through the one at Newbury Park - often the first passenger train after the autumnal leaf fall train travels via the siding track. I do remember going through the Woodford siding, this train was in passenger service. We started on the WB platform, and very slowly went into the siding. A train passed and we got going again... |

We usually go through 21 Road if a Woodford reverser is doing the west-to-east mainline shunt, blocking the westbound road. And usually we only do the mainline shunt if a train needs to go into Woodford sidings from South Woodford.
