This latest points/signals failures/problems in the South West causing cancellation to services and resultant disruption to people’s planned rail journeys today in the Plymouth area and also now at Bridgwater, follows an increasing trend in last few months of such causes of disruption, which all leads to a reduction in reliability confidence by passengers.
Other recent points and signal incidents that come to mind include Exeter St D, N.Abbot, Barnstaple, Bristol Parkway and again Crediton (although RTT coded this OC = Signaller Error)
Is there a fundamental cause eg shortage of skilled staff /reorganisation/reviews of testing and mtce. procedures, delays in getting spares etc.

No proactive maintenance - example - Platform 5 at Taunton been gone a month, still out, rails gone extremely rusty.
Nowhere any different, join the club.
