Also still possible in Llandudno?
Isn't that to do with the signalling/lack of point locks rather than lack of loops?AFAIK locos can still run round at Cleethorpes.
One station where you thought that it may be possible, but isn't, is Hellifield. DMUs can't even reverse there and have to travel to Settle Junction to do the manoeuvre. A loco hauled train would have to go all the way north to Blea Moor for the engine to swap ends.
As used by the Harwich Boat Train, which used to bring a class 37 to Manchester when I were a lad.Manchester Piccadilly still has a ground frame between Platforms 5 and 6.
Was also used by the Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly 37/ 4 services in the late 1980sAs used by the Harwich Boat Train, which used to bring a class 37 to Manchester when I were a lad.

Unless things have changed I believe there is a loop on the bus station side but just a siding on the retaining wall side.Bradford Interchange still has two.
The second crossover was (is?) between the middle two platforms (platforms two and three I assume).Unless things have changed I believe there is a loop on the bus station side but just a siding on the retaining wall side.
Which platforms at Lime Street? I don’t remember that. All north and south Pennines, and trains to / from Preston and beyond, were shunt released in the 1980s. As were electric services from Euston. I can’t remember about cross country, but would have thought they were too.Manchester Piccadilly, and Liverpool Lime Street for loco-hauled Cross Country services up until the early 2000s.
Oddly enough I recently saw a picture of a Class 60 on the blocks at Man Picc, running round a freight. For some reason the normal route for the freight was blocked and the signaller convinced control to allow it to run into Man Picc.Manchester Piccadilly still has a ground frame between Platforms 5 and 6.
I’m sure Battersby has a run round loop and locally operated ground frameBattersby?
