Delaying the fix by nearly 45 minutes after they decided not to visit. Signalling failure this afternoon at Haywards Heath as well. All track circuits between Keymer Jn and Haywards Heath stopped working and of course its unsafe to run any trains. Fixed within 45 minutes after a quick response...

Which is exactly what I thought. Obviously lots of work is going on in the London Bridge area, can only assume its related to the work. There was a track circuit issue in the same area the other day too, perhaps its related.

Well there was a delay in repairs being made as Network Rail managers wanted to come to the site first as it was reportedly some recent work undertaken which had failed, these managers then failed to turn up, which in turn further delayed repairs being made. The actual fix didnt take very long...
