[TCUG] Re: Controller Vandalism

Razor wire?, guard dogs?, 50KV?

Seriously tho' Ian, If you find anything, please could you let us know,
'cos we are all experiencing problems.
I'd like to lay odds that the problems are occurring more with controller
cases provided by one signal contractor
(in the midlands)

We've replaced such units with those from other contractors as they get
destroyed.

The vandalism of controller doors and manual panels has recently become a
new fad in St Helens.  Once entry has been gained by these idiots the
signals invariably get switched off.  I am very concerned about the
potential for injury to innocent passers by (children putting their hands
inside the controller), and also damage to the internal components caused
by exposure to the elements.  Is there a foolproof piece of hardware
available which will deter vandals?
