Facilities on the 23:06 Bristol Temple Meads to Exeter St Davids due 00:52.

Does the door lock count as "signalling"?

'Last updated' time is interesting too. I think there's a bug in the systern. Hopefully the signaller has completed his log.

I grabbed a screen print of this last night and then fell asleep. Gave me some mild amusement!
Presumably the signaller used the toilet for a big one and blocked it up!  Roll Eyes
