Not sure what that has to do with it. Why wasn't it raised under a new thread ?
Why shouldn't I be able to come on to this thread and expect it to be about the subject ?
What's the point of having posts made on this thread that has nothing whatsoever to do with it - others might be interested in contributing to the discussion if they knew it even existed.
Any chance of actually contributing something then?Why shouldn't I be able to come on to this thread and expect it to be about the subject ?

You know, just as an example to others rather than further white noise moaning about off-topic...

After having some reflection time, I would like to apologize to Mr (?) Sabby93.
I took what you said in the wrong way.
Given the attack on my grade, my sector and my industry, I have been over defensive.
Sorry.
I read his post in the same way so apologies from me too for including him in ‘nothing of substance to add’.I took what you said in the wrong way.

There was supposed to be a thameslink 'meet the manager' session this morning at London Bridge.
Except there were no thameslink trains running into London because they're all f@cked.

Luton signals stuck on red

ks the services south of the river too 
When I checked his my train home last night was running, there were 6 major problems listed - mainly signalling I think (certainly two of those that affected my train, between Stafford and Wolverhampton, and between Bronsgrove and Droitwich).
Is signalling terribly affected by the sun?

I think it depends on how much ice cream gets dripped onto the various computers. Is signalling terribly affected by the sun?

yes, it can be. If you are heading directly into the low sun, it can restrict your eyesight quite a bit of oncoming signals. Just like when you're in the car at this time of year and the road is directly into the sun on your commute at the beginning or end of the day (or both, if you're unlucky) Is signalling terribly affected by the sun?

Given that the signal boxes are static and have been there quite some time, no-one has managed to find a solution to that? There are occasions where low sunlight striking a signal lens can make it appear as though it's showing a different aspect or even none at all ('black' in other words). I had a very odd one last week on the Brum to Nuneaton line with a two aspect signal which threw me for a moment until I got closer - the bottom lens was correctly showing a clear green but the one above it was catching the low sunlight at such an angle that it appeared to be showing a fully lit yellow aspect. When something like this happens sometimes you may have to slow down until you can see the lens clearly or in really bad instances stop and ask the signalman to confirm verbally which aspect it is showing. Probably sounds daft on the face of it to those who have never seen it, but it does happen sometimes.
