Map
There are intermediate stations on the line at which trains can terminate in bay roads or reversing platforms. In normal use these are Edgware Road, Moorgate and Plaistow.
Additionally, the track layout outside certain stations allow trains to terminate and reverse from the 'running line' platforms. These are Baker Street, King's Cross St. Pancras, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Aldgate East, Bromley-by-Bow, West Ham, Plaistow and East Ham. Occasionally, Aldgate station (Metropolitan and Circle Lines) will be used, as H&C trains run over the same tracks and can be routed into that station. These are generally only used during degraded services (such as signal failures further down the line) and engineering works that require part of the line to be closed. However, some early trains are timetabled to use these reversing points in order to ensure they are operating normally.

Famous quotes containing the word map:
“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“In thy face I see
The map of honor, truth, and loyalty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
