It will be interesting to see.
The other point to make, is that Sunderland has 4 platform numbers, despite only having one island platform.
I am wondering which platforms they arrive/depart from.
If using a southbound platform from London, is the driver going to change ends and head back to Heaton?
Or is it going to arrive on the Northbound platform?
The wiki, has the track layout. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunderland_station
The Grand Central trains depart from the South Hylton bound Metro platform. When there are delays / timing 'collisions', the South Hylton bound Metros serve the Airport bound Metro platform.
I would imagine the same will apply?
