reversing siding
noun1
Rail transport, Railways, Transport UK A siding provided for terminating passenger trains, usually at a through station, where a train can lay over between journeys before heading back in the opposite direction.
- Help could also come from adding reversing sidings east of Victoria. This would cut the number of trains running on towards Rochdale or Stalybridge, which might ease the contraints of those single-ladder junctions.2020 January 2, Philip Haigh, “Is there relief to congestion along Castlefield Corridor?”, in Rail, page 23:
