I note from the BBC News that a "signalling fault" appears to have shut the whole Cambrian network on Sunday, with trains between Machynlleth and Aberystwyth, Pwllheli, and Shrewsbury all being cancelled.

Today didn't start off too well either, with the early train from Pwllheli also being cancelled. I understand this was a train failure. Plenty of passengers on my train complaining about the 2-hour wait, and lots of late-running school kids (who didn't seem to be complaining so much!).
Interesting photo used on the BBC site - when did the Cambrian get OLE?

Anybody know anything more? Something to do with the ETCS?A signalling failure between train stations has caused disruption and delays to some rail services in Wales.
The fault happened between stations in Machynlleth and Pwllheli, in Gwynedd, and Aberystwyth.
Services between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth were also cancelled today.
National Rail said the lines have now been reopened although trains may still be delayed or cancelled as services return to normal.
It added there would be a limited bus service running between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth, and between Machynlleth and Pwllheli.
