The peg is off for it to draw forward, then reverse into the other platform before running round.

Peter Kerslake adds "Not one of the customary little "1400" class on the Gloucester to here at Chalford service this day with just a short time to go before these services teminated on the 31st October 1964, but a Pannier Tank might sometimes be substituted if one of the few remaining "1400's" at Gloucester 's Horton Road Depot was unavailable.
Just between the signal box and pillar water column in the far distance was the site of the G.W.R's very first Railmotor shed, built in 1903 to house overnight the Railmotors working the last of the day's services to here and avoiding the need for them to return back to their Gloucester Depot, but the shed was destroyed by fire on the night of 8th January 1916 and was not rebuilt although the water column and stock siding survived until the station was demolished soon after the local services came to an end."
