A train died at Bank this morning. I know cos was I was there - it was
stuck halfway into the eastbound platform with the red interrupt light
shining next to the doors. Had a couple of bods standing at the consoles at
the front looking confused. What I didn't understand is why they didn't just
drive it out of the way manually immediately? If it really was a fault with
the train as they were saying (and not with the signalling system) then
surely that would make the most sense?

If there was a fault with the train, perhaps they couldn't drive it
manually?
