Oh please. 1 set of points that would hardly ever be used would require
minimal maintenance compared to the ones at Dalston and Highbury.

The sort of minimal maintenance that led to the fatal Grayrigg
derailment?


Are LO planning on raising the speed at Shorditch to 125mph then?

Not at all pal. You're comparing apples and oranges. Clipped points that
are used 0.01% of the time don't required the same maintenance as non clipped
ones on a 125mph high speed line.
