I understand it's a total loss of signalling. Level Crossing barriers are stuck down at certain places.
National Rail Enquiries are saying the problems at Darlington have been caused by vandalism.
I wonder if the people involved know how much misery this sort of thing causes for people travelling.

Was going to say the same thing, Tommy.
Uninformed 'article' acting as clickbait. Whilst the figures are interesting it's yet another 'blame the railway' type thing.
They need to know that blatant throwing money at the system does not increase punctuality. No amount of money thrown at a system will stop suicides or vandalism.

DfT announce Britains most crowded trains.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34195309
There are several peak services out of Edinburgh and Sheffield, that I have been on - that if not making the list, must be close.
Dread to think how busy the ones in the top 10 get, if those ones don't!

Passengers at odds with train industry.
There is a lack of trust according to the article.
However, I don't think it is limited solely to the rail sector.
It is maybe something both air and bus could look at.
