Signalling systems have been developed for particular railways and they meet
the criteria laid down by those in charge. Whilst I do not challenge your right
to declare that Victorian signalling is silly, I think the comment is
nonetheless puerile. We might comment that a railway system that tries to marry
the aspects of its 2 pos and 3 pos signals is also silly, but we won't.
