Can you tell me more about the incident? Trains are likely to have some delays due to a fault with a signal in this area. In this case, the signal has been reported to be showing the wrong colour indication to drivers. This means drivers have to stop at the preceding signal and gain verbal instructions to continue. Your journey will unfortunately take longer as a result. Railway signals are designed to warn drivers that they have to stop because the system can't yet confirm that the route ahead is clear. In most places, the signalling system will show a green light, or aspect, when the track is clear for a long distance ahead, and drivers will then be shown one or two yellow lights to warn them when they are approaching a red signal. This means that they can anticipate the amount of braking that's required to stop before they reach another train or any form of problem on the line. In this case, as the signal isn't reliably showing the necessary indications to drivers, they'll need to take extra safety precautions to travel through the area. The signalling system is maintained by Network Rail, and work is being to diagnose the fault and make sure it is fixed as quickly as possible. Until this is done, the train service will be monitored and all will be done to keep to the timetable. Ticket flexibility: If your train is cancelled, you will be able to travel on an alternative service operated by any other participating train company , either two hours before or two hours after the original departure time of the cancelled service, in order to reach your destination. If you decide not to travel or cannot complete your journey due to cancellations, you are entitled to a full refund from your original point of sale. For further information and guidance please contact your train company or speak to a member of railway staff. Check before you travel: You can check your journey using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner . Compensation: You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today.
