That hasn’t been true in Europe for over a hundred years, and exceedingly rare in the US these days.

That hasn’t been true in Europe for over a hundred years, and exceedingly rare in the US these days.
- benjaminwootton 5y agoIsn’t this exactly what the press release states? “ if there is an incident somewhere, the system adjusts itself accordingly. This was not possible due to the failure.”
- TylerE 5y agoNo, it’s talking about crew scheduling/allocation , not signaling. The signaling system is totally fail safe. Even if that system totally went out, drivers are required to know where all the signals are, and to treat an unlit signal as a red.
- throwawayboise 5y agoWhat if the failure lit all the signals in green?
- TylerE 5y agoIt can’t, they’re not wired like that. They’re engineered so any fault shows either red or nothing.
- innocenat 5y agoThe train schedule system data aren't fed into the Automatic Route Setting system in Europe and US?
- TylerE 5y agoSure, but failing that everything will just stop, not crash into other like GP implied
