Passing Basingstoke Station at 1230 I hear "Due to a signalling failure, platforms 1 & 2 cannot be used".
Within a 10 min period platform 4 hosted a Down cross-county, 2 Waterloo fasts and a Waterloo slow. Many trains delayed. Emergency work at Poole was also mentioned but no time stated for a train there.
Pity there is no Basingstoke simulation. A timetable with that complication would be interesting and entertaining.

Lovely summer weather for a change.

That sounds like classified information - how did you get hold of it? It certainly should not be published on a public forum.

They may have said there was a track circuit failure, but they are surely unlikely to give out that kind of detailed information, assuming they even knew exactly which track circuit it was at all.

Did suspect point failure until that bit of information was given.
