The trouble with Annet keys , or indeed any sort of key locking system
for points  is that it doesnt work in a train order environment where
there are no signals, no interlockings .
In the Ararat situation we had the absolutely ludicrous situation of
the up home departure at Pyrenees loop displaying a green over red
even though the road was set straight into the path of the opposing
train.
What a total mess.
