Disruption on the Cambrian today, as the Welshpool to Sutton Bridge section was being worked by pilotman. OTT showed my train arriving at Welshpool, but didn't see it departing. About 3/4 hour late arriving at New Street, where it was terminated short.

What kind of fault could cause the loss of just one of the sections on an ETCS scheme? GSM-R failure at the Shrewsbury end?

An axle counter failure.
