Strictly speaking the word "points" only refers to the point blades.
SAR used the term "switch" to describe points.
NSW used to have a description along the lines of,
"When the upper yellow functions,
beware of turnouts points and junctions!"
So I guess they used both terms.
BTW, could someone from NSW post the real quotation from the rule book?
Mark.
