Cutting off their noses again... won't be long before the only set of points a
train comes to is at FSS, SST or the terminus station they arrive at.. (remove all
the "short terminating points, we don't need them..)

When does it go over to Metrol? or are they putting a SCP in there..

It would make sense for them to put a local Control Panel in that covered
Heidelberg, Rosanna Junction, Macleod, Eltham, Diamond Creek and Hurstbridge.

These signalling areas are due to be upgraded / abolished in the future.. Why not
control it all from one point.

(As a signalling enthusiast, I can't believe I just said that...)
