Title: Stop and don't proceed

Facilities on the 23:06 Bristol Temple Meads to Exeter St Davids due 00:52.
Toilet facilities are not available.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.

Er...

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.

Reminds me of this incident from 2013, posted by a mischievous web forum user (*cough*), when there were signalling issues caused by a faulty toilet door:

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!  ::)
