Additional information:

A track circuit is one system used by signallers to identify where trains are on the tracks. When these fail, trains have to stop at each affected signal and verify that the track beyond the signal is clear. Once they have authority from the signaller to continue, they must do so at caution until they have traversed that signalling section. This process takes up to 10 minutes per affected signal.
