Default Wrong kind of pressure

Has anyone got to the bottom of this weird story? Apparently it was on
Channel 4 News last night, but I missed it.


The report I heard was quite clear. The pressure monitoring device in the
oil overflow chamber measured a change in pressure, and assumed that the
rate of change meant that the device was faulty, and shut them down.

This was reported months ago, and a software fix has already been developed,
but is still awaiting safety approval (what a surprise).

In the meantime, a man bleeds off the excess pressure in the chamber to
allow the train to restart.
