With so many turnouts under RU's control, considerable maintenance could be avoided with this change. |
At least the track chart schematically showed the position of the turnouts and the lengths of each track. |
There are more than 50 turnouts and, I would guess, about eight miles of track in total. |
The other challenge with this section is a major lack of turnouts for passing, combined with blind turns that hide people coming the other way. |
When things are going well, experience teaches us that turnouts are relatively lower. |
Councils across Greater Manchester have swapped the ballot box for the pillar box in a bid to stamp out low turnouts. |
