| Explanations - beginner's guides of why trains are not running to timetable Posted by grahame at 07:55, 30th April 2025 |     |
Journey check has recently been adding explanations of technical issue and, whilst the more experienced of us may give a wry smile and say "surely we all know that" ... actually some of guest readers may not. I suspect these explanations are prepackages chunks of text - I may be starting a collection here
We've received a report from Network Rail of a track circuit failure at Yeovil Pen Mill.
Track circuits help Signallers know if a section of the track has a train on it. If the track circuit fails, trains need to stop at each affected signal and speak to the Signaller to confirm the track ahead is clear. This can lead to delays, especially if mutliple track circuits have failed.

Journeycheck's signal to noise ratio isn't good. It feels as though that approach risks boosting the noise.
