Signal failures usually means track failures or the signal itself

Usually it's the former

But most delays are caused by the public.

Yup even when it's a track failure it's still a signal failure, heck where I am if the signal drops because a piece of rolling stock has shit the tin in that location it STILL a signals failure.

 

We have some awesome "negotiation" sessions with the delay accountants week to week.

Haha yeah some of the stuff they come out with for us on delays is ridiculous

Especially because we are a public service, if the public complains every single one has to be investigated. So we get some pretty crazy stuff get back

We can put a direct $ figure our delays usually so they get taken very seriosuly. It's always hard when we need track time for maintenance and the cost in lost trains is several Mil and the pay back period isn't achievable.

Yep, solid episode. Although, I do feel a bit like it didn't end on the cliff-hanger I was expecting...
