Cross Country services to Edinburgh and beyond have been terminating at Morpeth for a few weekends due to engineering work. Presumably the trains need to be serviced and and crossed for their return journeys and I'm wondering how the procedure is carried out. Does Morpeth have a crossover, facilities for servicing, tanking etc. or are such functions carried out at Newcastle?
Morpeth seems rather a strange place for principal long distance services to be terminated and turned!
