No sooner did I reach the station, than the train started.
No longer, would I assume the guilt of intoxicated boys in the company of intoxicated girls everywhere.
In these sentences, what are the roles of “did I reach” and “would I assume”? Why?
In first case, Can we use “as soon as” style?

[Casiopea]

Invert the subject-verb set when the sentence begins with a negative.

Ex: Never did I...

This is clearer:

Ex: The train started its engines the moment I reached the station.

This is from inversion english grammar

In formal English, it is quite common to use inversion after negative adverbial expressions and restrictive words such as only, never, hardly and little.

At no time did he get permission for what he was doing.
Not until the next morning did she realise how serious it was.
Only later did they learn his terrible secret.
Never before have I seen such awful behaviour.
Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started ringing.
Little do you know how much trouble you are in.
