Dear Network Rail Limited,

I am aware of several answers on this topic like FOI2019/00431, FOI2020/01461, or FOI2020/01143. But since there is already a lot of information about this topic to be found online (videos, maps, pictures, games and even by yourself like on Twitter to explain disruptions), the mentioned security issue wouldn't be more significant as it is right at this moment. So, I would like to request Signalling Diagrams for all National Rail/Network Rail routes containing positions and kinds of signals, preferably like the ones you use on Twitter (e.g., https://twitter.com/NetworkRailSE/status...)

Yours faithfully,

Florian Ellebrecht
