How long do we have put up with the points failure at Watford Jn? This happens every month or more frequently, disrupting West Coast main line.
Network Rail does not seem interested in upgrading the points.

They are practically new! I’d bet a tenner it is the detection going because there is long term movement underneath with them finding their final position. common issue with new points especially long ones.

Random question. Would ballestless track hell in these situations? I know it costs more.
