More cable theft

Point taken, and it's not just cable of course but crossing gates too, but the closer we can come to smart train rather than smart track the better.

Even if the signalling cables are fibre, what about the power cables? All those signals and switches need power and I presume that it is the power cables that have been taken as these are most likely still copper.

Most of the KRP cabling is in ducts above ground on the track side. A few weeks a similar occurance happened near Kildare
