A wide-spread radio system breakdown hit British railways this friday morning‚ making train traffic stop across the whole country. The tech problem blocked normal talk between train drivers and signal workers which made railway companies stop many routes
The issue hit during peak morning hours when lots of people try to get to work: many passengers got stuck at stations while National Rail had to make quick changes to its schedule. Main London transport routes got affected too - trains to both Heathrow (Elizabeth line) and Gatwick airports (Gatwick Express) stopped working
The radio system fault made a big mess in UK transport system; many people couldnt get to work on-time. Train companies tried to fix everything as fast as possible but morning commuters had to look for other ways to travel (like buses or cars)
