You asked
One thing has come to light, which is that there have been some changes to the track and points southbound from Kennington. I know that details of these changes are implicit in my original request, but I just wanted to make sure that there would definitely be info about:
- Exactly what points were installed between Kennington, the Kennington Loop and Oval station prior to June 2020, swing nose etc (with a map showing which one is which)
- Exactly when, and to what specification these points were changed to
