Default Resignalling the Richmond branch?

Well, the Gunnersbury blockade has come and gone, but there is no
improvement to the Richmond branch signalling. (Negative progress in
fact - Richmond inaccessible to LU and Silverlink for an hour or two
this morning.)


And it appears to have failed once more; the realtime board states that
the Richmond service is suspended (message received 1019).


We now have 8 concrete bases on the down line between Kew Gardens and
Richmond. This seems an excessive number of signals, even if some are
for banner repeaters. Does anyone have any further information about
this project?


Agreed. There are far too many bases for a standard 4-aspect MAS
installation; something strange is definitely happening.
