1) Within 24 hours Jarvis had examined EVERY single set of points they maintained throughout the Country on their own initiative and without prompting. Not one single set of points was found to have any maintenance issues on them.
Perhaps this is why when the British Transport Police examined another set of points maintained by the same pway crew, they found the points to be in perfect order, and that problem with the loose nuts fixed?

I dont think Jarvis would have put their hands up anyway, after seeing and knowing whats going to happen to them, the chances of Jarvis saying "yes it was our fault" were getting very thin indeed.
I wouldn't have expected them to put their hands up and admit it, but I would expect them to have a bt of co-operation with the inquiriy.

What do you mean they have seen it? And to be honest, are Jarvis to know that they have caused it? If your the pway crew who last inspected those points, and reported them as in working order, and they are not, you aren't really going to say "Yes, it was me!", so those higher up in Jarvis might not have known that they had anything to do with it.
Also not mentioned in the program, (and also information from RailChat), was that:

Network Rail engineers carried out a specific and detailed inspection of those points a couple of weeks beforehand and reported them as being fully compliant (i.e. the stretcher bars correctly positioned)
So maybe at the time of Jarvis' inspection, the points were in working order. That, or both the Jarvis and Network Rail pway gangs lied about the points' condition.
