  Could it been thugs that have caused the delays to hundreds of services by damaging signalling cables. No wonder thousands of commuters experienced delays and cancellations at Birmingham New Street and on the West Coast Main Line affecting London Midland, Virgin Trains West Coast and Crosscountry services.

    I have noticed reports - in RAIL, from NRE and elsewhere - over the years that damage by fire to signal cables has happened repeatedly at, for instance, Canley, Tile Hill, Berkswell and at other locations between Coventry and Birmingham. It may be that there is a commom MO, consistent with creating disruption and/or cable theft. Yet I thought Network Rail had taken various new security measures. Whether it's a gang or an individual, are BTP 'on the case' sufficiently?

  It could be the same gangs that target motorway cabling.
