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

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

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.

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

Lmao.

Currently reading this from a train that’s never on time (usually late by about 5 minutes or so daily).

It turned up on time today for the first time in months 🤣

Claim delay repay folks- it’s the only thing that they care about…their bottom line!
