"Bobbing" is when the signal rapidly changes
from aspect to aspect without warning or reason.

Naturally this is a major problem because a signal
could bob despite an occupied track in front of the
train; thus, if it goes to green and the driver passes
it in the correct way at speed, CRUNCH.


I doubt that, because it would violate the concept of "failsafe".

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
