This seems to have happened wit a few trains recently - a wheeze through which a train that's late from it station of origina can be on time at destination, perhaps, or some other reason?

Now if NR» (Network Rail - home page) bought cable with tinned copper cores, works just as well, if NOT better, but has a fraction of the Scrap vaule.

Greenford Box had 'life extension' work carried out last year so expect to see them for a while.  For the amount of work carried out I'm surprised they weren't replaced with colour lights.

From the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website :

Line problem in the Greenford area.

Train services between London Paddington and Greenford are being disrupted due to a problem with line-side equipment in the Greenford area.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations and cancellations can be expected.

All Services are terminating and starting from West Ealing. London Underground and London Buses will accept tickets on their services.
