Yep. "Points" is UKoGBaNIan for the USAn "switches," and since
Mr. Ridgway posted from a .uk address I think we can assume this
"Daily Record" of his is a UKoGBaNIan newspaper.

Now stop shouting, you guys.

Divot was easy, but since I don't know what a station master is (presumably
a British term), all I can say is that the answer is probably one of these:

boings boinks boongs bounds cornus counts doings donnés doonas founds
founts goings hounds joints lownds mornes mounds mounts noints no-nos
poinds points pornos pounds rounds somnus sounds tonnes wounds zounds

The person in charge of a railway station. 'Points' is the term for
the device at the junction of two tracks which directs a train onto
the selected track.
