Trains delayed across Britain due to ‘nationwide fault’ on communication system – BBC News

7 comments

1. Hmm I wonder which country could possibly be responsible for this

2. I get the train from Manchester to London once per week, I genuinely can’t think of a single occasion where the trains both there and back have left and arrived on time

   The rail network in this country is a joke

3. We really need investment in our rail systems. Why has there been no project to do this? Oh, wait…

4. I wonder how they can still run trains at all if the GSM-R network is down and drivers can’t contact signallers. They’d still need to be able to communicate with signallers pretty quickly about trespassers, animals on the line, flooding, obstacles like trees on the line, level crossing gates left wide open, subsidence etc.

5. Of course they’re delayed. It’s a day ending with Y

6. Love to be reading this on the way to the station for my commute 🙃

7. It would be more newsworthy to say there’s been no issues and everything is working perfectly.
