Turning trains

[edit]

Can anyone explain how and where the trains turned round at Hornsea Town? Especially when they were steam hauled trains? There doesn't seem to be any extra track beyond the platform.

@Peter Judge: Trains don't need turning - steam locomotives do, and then only if they are tender locos. Tank locos - often used on branch lines like this - run just as well backwards as forwards, so don't need to be turned after each trip. Anyway, there was a turntable at the southern end of the station (on the eastern side). --Redrose64 (talk) 23:34, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
