    Signal problem made me late by an hour this morning, signal problem held me up by half an hour getting home.

    Someone needs a good boot in the stones here.

    So the driver tells us we are going to be late, puts on a red bib, jumps out the train, walks up to the signal light, uses a phone in a wee box, comes back to the train and tells everyone that there is a signal problem.

    I just do not know where to start on that.

    So, can you start a train and jump over a bridge while polishing the knobs? We need to know.

    Effin typical of today's management to call her a thief first and then back down in the face of later questions.

    Everything suggests it was a pure accident where several temporary and unfortunate circumstances caused the woman to set the train in motion when she was cleaning," Paer Andersson said in a statement, according to AFP news agency.

    ...

    The train operating companies, Arriva and SL, may now face an investigation into a possible breach of safety laws.

    A spokesman for Arriva said it was unfortunate that the woman, who was detained in hospital on suspicion of destroying public property, had been described as a thief.

    More evidence that 'managers' are generally a waste of space and oxygen.
