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.
It shouldn't be possible to set a route from the bay platform onto the
eastbound line as the line is not bidirectional.
