But thats obviously in an ideal world, the real world where people
can't be arsed is another matter.

I had assumed that "trouble" was shorthand for "significant works
requiring corresponding funds for both capital and on-going, current
expenditure". If so, I am one London taxpayer and traveller who is glad

If there are no sets of reversing points between new cross and dalston

put some in in case this sort of thing happens again.

I think there's crossovers at Shadwell and Canada Water.
