LONDON (Reuters) -Some British rail services including connections to London’s Heathrow Airport were disrupted on Friday due to a nationwide fault with the communication system used between train drivers and signallers, a statement from National Rail said.
Departure information available online showed services delayed into and from stations in London and other major cities.
In a later statement, National Rail said: “This issue is mainly affecting trains on some routes leaving the depot to start their service. However, trains can run normally once they are underway.”
