Hey Stephen, can you explain something? Newsrail noticed that your
company was using wooden sleepers on the points at Ringwood and they
thought that was unusual, but is it really? I would have thought that
the reason why is because it would be difficult and expensive to
prefab concrete sleepers with all the necessary track base-plates,
etc, in the right spots for Ringwood. What sayeth ye?
