Seems that theres been a failure this morning between T123 and T5
according to the traffic news. Can't even virtually brand new signals
work without failing on this system? Whats the reason, cheap
components, poor maintenance, bad design?


What's interesting is that I checked our internal real time service
information page when I saw your post. *I then went to the "history"
page for the Picc line that would list every single disruption affecting
the service on Friday. *There was no failure since start of traffic at
the locations you cite or indeed anywhere on the Picc Line. *Perhaps the
travel news got it wrong or was it Heathrow Express that went wrong?


That morning, I had a text from TfL about a points failure meaning no
service to T5 and minor delays to the rest of the line. The disruption
was also on the TfL live travel new page.
