Does anyone one know what happened on the First Capital Connect trains today?

Question

I was on my way back from skool; getting the train home from Palmer's Green to Harringey but they said there was a serious power cut. But there were police and the train had stopped in the station and the police were interviewing this man who was talking about a bomb on the tube so I'm not sure they were saying everything

Answer 1

Nothing like that happened

Answer 2

Nah...

People just stared at the floor and ignored each other as usual.

Answer 3

There was a track circuit failure. Track circuits detect where the location of a is train on the line & if they cannot pick up a train then all the signals turn red so protecting the train. The signallers then have to talk the driver past all the red signals untill the train has passed the failed circuit and can be picked up again on the control pannel. The equivelent sort of thing in lets say the air industry, would be if the Radar in Air Traffic Control Fails, then no plane would land at heathrow and be diverted to Manchester.
