Signal EL 300 on the right seems to be principally for trains setting back wrong line to enter the depot via the connection with a 15 limit in the distance. There also appears to be provision for trains to reverse at New Cross Gate and return to the north, but this is not a regular timetable feature. The usual northbound track is on the other side of the station, and crosses the main lines via the bridge on the left.
