There is no bi-directional signalling on the Olympic Park Line.  The entire area
is "Yard Working".  There are signals provided for trains running in the wrong
direction at Olympic Park station.  They are at the South end of the platforms
and are fixed at Stop.  In the event that a train is to be worked in the wrong
direction, the driver simply stops at the signal telephone and the signaller
informs him that he is to be working in the wrong direction, and off it goes.

*This information is as I remember it from the Weekly Notices.  I am not
qualified to work trains there!*
