Trains delayed because of software problems
Crossrail delayed also because of software problems
FGW had similar problems with their new trains a while ago.
Northern Trains I believe are having similar problems.
LNER had previously software problems with new trains or signals
Seems the rush to use latest technology is perhaps causing it own problems

Re: Back to the Future?
You are right, apart from the fact it has nothing to do with Government, but is 2 private companies, the supplier Bombardier and the customer GreaterAnglia
Please do not let the facts get in the way of your trying to blame the Government

Re: Back to the Future?
Good question. Genuinely don't know answer, but as software problems affecting so many private train companies as well, suggests it's not a government cock up, but a wider issue re using software
