BBC saying this verdict may affect maintenance regimes - what, eight
years later?

IIRC wasn't the Greyrigg derailment a similar problem?

Potentially, but I don't recall what happened regarding suggestions the

replaced properly. With two such accidents to learn from... are we in
better shape today?
