It is not clear from the report what the problem was, either human
error or mechanical failure. Interesting that it happened the morning
after the strike, although that may have nothing whatsoever to do with
it.


From the limited information in the article, it sounds like a signaller
set the wrong route and the interlocks correctly prevented any
conflicting movements. Doesn't sound like a safety issue to me.
