Probably like most thing in short-termism Britain - built to a low
cost. No doubt the people responsible have long since moved on and
won't have to explain why in the end it'll cost far more than if

To get the line open ASAP, they didnt bother with moving block
sections or ATO, instead just having the same signalling systerm, but
as a fixed block with Train Stops.
