Layout at Tring

At Tring the 4 tracks expand to 5 through the station. How is the fifth track used ?

Platforms 1 and 2 are the fast lines although I doubt if many, or even any, trains stop there.

Platform 3 is for LM northbound services. When I was there Platform 5 was used for all LM southbound services.

How is Platform 4 used ? Is it used as a southbound or northbound loop ? Or is it bi-directional ?

I know that one platform was used as a terminal platform at one point but I don't know if it is still used as a terminal platform

Platform 4 is used for the halfhourly services from Euston that terminate at Tring, it is classsed as the "up & down relief," so I guess it could be used for through trains, but platform 5 is the up slow.

Platforms 1 and 2 are the fast lines although I doubt if many, or even any, trains stop there.

From experience, trains do use Platforms 1 & 2 in the evenings and at weekends (admittedly, this isn't that many services!)
