It surprises me that noone ever developed a Garrat with a driving cab
at either end.

They need more than basic communication. For instance both kept an eye
out for the signals and called out the indications to each other.

As a matter of interest, and changing the subject slightly, where in the
UK or elsewhere would you find (or have found) a turntable big enough to
turn a Garrat. Or did they always rely on loops or triangles?

Why would you need to turn a Garratt?

They were not turned at Bristol ( or not often, they used the Dr Days
Triangle sometimes).
