The points to NR exist, the platforms were perfectly servicable until they

more taxpayers money) and train information boards were already fitted so

just incompetance and indifference all round.

As usual, your ignorance is causing you to grossly oversimplify things.

The infrastructure was in in place. Anything else is down to people.

No it wasn't. Take a look at what they're having to do in Waterloo:

Yes I know they're doing all that, I work nearby. However given local
services have run from those platforms on rare occasions these works are
clearly a long way from being essential. As I said, the infrastructure was
there and the delay was down to people in charge being dicks.
