Hi David .
Would be interested in the safeworking arrangements for running trains around 
the north leg.
The points at each end are controlled by ground frames ,and I beleive there is 
a staff for the Nth leg.
I assume that the driver of SL16 has to get out and unlock the points at each 
end,although Im not sure where the staff comes from and who collects it.
Its a fair distance from Junee Nth box to either end of the triangle.

cheers
