.... or alternatively, he can see when something's gone wrong, take the necessary action to change it, and deliver the desired result.

City have chartered two carriages and I don't think they would have been too pleased had they have been left on the platform

Can trains reverse? Hilarious.

Have you ever seen a Virgin train do a U-turn after arriving at Piccadilly to head back to London? Once it gets to one end of the line, the opposite end of the train pulls it the other way. To be technical in some instances the opposite end is a dummy train (known as driving trailer van, or something like that) and it is effectively 'pushed' by the motor at the opposite end, rather than pulled by the engine at the front.

Think of it this way, if a train travels forward in one direction it surely travels in reverse for the other.

What I am trying to say is yes, trains can reverse.

But that isn't reversing is it. That is driving in the correct direction with the key in the right cab.

Sticking a train into reverse is a big no no.

The correct procedure is to get permission to set back and then to change cabs in order to do so.
