If there is a track fault or signalling fault, then there will be no one to attend and fix. (you may get Managers out on the track, but they will have to cover a big area!)
A simple points failure will slow the job right down for hours, as points will have to be pumped over (if possible) to run trains, signal failure, cautioning past signal possibly all day
