Why do train points systems fail so frequently? What exactly is the mechanism involved in them?
We had 3 inches of snow today in Paisley/Glasgow and this was enough to smash the points to bits. Everything stopped. A 20 mile journey took me 3.5 hours.

Can you have a word with him? What does he do on it exactly? I do see workmen occasionally by the track with orange gaydlo jackets on but all they ever seem to be doing is drinking coffee from flasks and pointing at stuff. Is that why they call it a 'points' failure?

If you are on a train from the coast going to Glasgow you do not have to continue to your final destination. You can
get off at Paisley.
Has anyone ever tried this? Does it work?
