    There's a point, but I doubt they have the manpower to check even a hundredth of the network on a daily or perhaps even weekly/monthly basis.

    When it was privatised "walking the line" was I believe drastically cut back as its hugely time consuming (often access or ingress to the track is impossible for many miles) and that meant profit consuming.
    You have me thinking though: it might be the perfect job for drones.
