This was the reason why, after the derailment on the crossover at
Camden Town, the service was simplified so that all Bank branch went
to the Edgware branch, and all Charing Cross branch went to the Barnet
branch.


IIRC, after the derailment they picked the pairing that didn't use the
failed points.

Looking at it now, I can't see where there's any set of points that
could be avoided by any option, although they could avoid changing the
points and treat them as plain rail in a fixed direction.


Of course you're right there. Possibly they picked the *position* that
didn't involve going over the track that was derailed on.
