Comms failure wipes out British network

A major communications failure has paralysed much of the British railway network, leading to freight delays and commuter cancellations. Fears over digital interference are at an all-time high, prompting concerns over cyber security. Meanwhile, train drivers across Britain were puzzled by the silence on their cab comms. Signallers felt as bereft as mission controllers with all their screens showing “LOS” – Loss of Signal. Hamilton to Hounslow, we have a problem. This morning, the wireless comms system that puts signallers in touch with drivers, just wasn’t. That’s no joke and it’s left the British rail network in meltdown.
