RRY was the standard VR aspect at loops until Western line CTC. Bank Box, was
one and a few places down the Eastern line.

I'm not sure if I dislike the NE SG RRY or the crazy Western line speed proving
more.
No one has yet to provide me with even a semblance of a reason to have speed
proving where no train stops are fitted

Thats already happened, ask Sid Preist, (actually you can't, Sid died a few
years ago, rest his soul)

There was only one reason for RRY, VR was cheap, simple as that.
