Yip. Thats it :D

No. They are sprung loaded on faceing points. No locks. On the west highland line they are set for the appropriate platform (up or down) so when, say, a north bound train goes over the trailing points at the north end of the station, the points automaticly return for the down platform for the...

I realy dont understand how they get away with no FPL. Its leathal and this has demonstrated this. At Boat of Garten on the Strathspey, we are not alowed to take a pasenger train from Aviemore in to platform 2 UNLESS we HAND CLAMP a set of points with no FPL. The West Highland is the same...
