DLs and DLPs are double ended so can be backed around or driven around to the opposite end. Only one loco still.

Not sure how useful this is on the bus if I’m being honest.

I think this sign is from somewhere between 2006 - 2008. OnTrack was folded into KiwiRail in 2008 and the Western Line duplication and Henderson Station upgrade was completed in 2006.
