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?

Luck shouldn't come into it. These systems are supposed to be
professionally built and maintained. There might be an excuse for
endless failures on older bits of the system but this was only opened
last year.

You can reduce failure rates with high quality production and
maintenance, but you can't eliminate them. A single failure doesn't
tell you much about the quality of the underlying system.

No , but constant failures all the time does.

I wasn't aware that the new signalling on the network had been
suffering from constant failures.

It's done deliberately just to **** you off. Because you're special.

That's true.
Boltar is under 24 hour surveillance, they get to predict when she's about
to hit the Piccadilly Line, and instructions are sent out to mess up her
journey.
Because she's worth it.
Well, no. It's actually because she's an idiot and it gives them something
to laugh at.
