Was the system hacked by any chance that caused major disruptions to rail services.
Was Northern, Greater Anglia, c2c, Chiltern Railways, Hull Trains, Grand Central, East Midlands Railway, London Northwestern Railway, West Midlands Railway and Great Western Railway also were affected by the radio faults that has caused major disruptions to other major routes across England and Wales. But no problems to ScotRail in Scotland.
