The tripcocks are defective and may not operate when a train is
'tripped' at slow speed. The news is being 'sat on' with delays put
down to 'signal failures'.

The tripcocks are being tested by the trains passing a raised trainstop
at the approach to the termini. As a consequence, this totally messes up
the service and a special reduced service is generally in operation. There
is also a shortage of trains because the depot needs them as the tripcocks
are also being checked out in depot by depot staff.
