The news reports serious disruption around the Streatham area this morning, with no trains into Victoria, and Thameslink services affected. Writing as a forum member with no specialised knowledge, I am wondering if this is an inevitable result of modernisation, in that centralised signalling, and just about everything else, will make things more efficient and give greater capacity for 99% of the time, but when things do go wrong the effects are far more widespread than if there were more signal boxes, for example, each responsible for a small area. Is this the case? I would be very interested if any members better informed than I am would share their knowledge with us.
