Signalling problems at South Wigston

[bb21]

Just came back from Birmingham New Street on the 1322 departure (1L42) to Stansted Airport. We were 12 down leaving BHM and re-routed via Tamworth High Level, Burton-on-Trent and East Midlands Parkway. Pulled into LEI 45 down and were told by the guard that there was signalling issues at South Wigston.

All XC Birmingham - Stansted route are diverted and Birmingham - Leicester local services are cancelled. Services do not call at Nuneaton, Hinckley, Narborough or South Wigston. Delays on the MML as well with some Sheffield services cancelled. Oh dear!

You would be right to be dubious as i heard on the grapevine they had exactly the same problem again today at the same place?

I was told last Sunday that there had been major signalling problems at Wigston Jct last Saturday also.
Wigston Jct does have a history of these type of problems, I was on a train diverted via Manton when going to St Pancras last year with a similar prob.
