So that trains not being weighed don't have to pass over the active
weighbridge rails.

It is really a misrepresentation to label the weighbridges as "gauntlet
track" in the normal sense, since that entails NO pointwork; in the
weighbridge cases, there IS pointwork to select whether a train goes
over the "weigh" rails or the "non-weigh" rails.
