So my wife has got stuck because of the victoria line being down. Just
how many "signal" failures per day are there? Would it not be possible
to design something which doesn't fail quite so damn often and also
design procedures so reversing trains doesn't take forever so at least
the rest of the line can continue running some semblance of a service?

I have often wondered why signalling systems are so prone to falling over
all the time. Mind you they are installing a new system on the Victoria line
so was it really a failure or may be due to the installation work.
The DLR is the one that gets me. It was built in the 80's and plagued with
problems since day one.
