Points, switches and crossings are very complex to construct and have always been pre-assembled off site. Instead of disassembling them, Network Rail now carries them assembled to sites. To carry these assemblies Kirow in Germany built 28 of these specialist wagons for Network Rail. Sorry about the shadow of the fencing on the sides. A further batch were built in 2014 as in more recent photos. This is an excellent official explanation about them https://dzwigi24.pl/files/SwitchTilter_EN.pdf
