I'm lead to believe that the existing pointwork at the Up end will be
decommissioned (spiked & clipped etc) on Fri/Sat 19/20th, with levers etc,
being sleeved & detection designed out of the control circuits.  Rodding etc
is to be removed on this weekend as well.  The turnouts will be replaced the
following weekend 27/28, with the new pointwork remaining spiked out until
the commissioning of the new CBI on a date that I know not.

P.S. What is a RBM Turnout?
