You'd think that such long established technology would be largely foolproof by now. We lagged decades behind most of Europe and many other advanced nations with overhead power for trains but still it causes problems for a route that's only recently had them installed. You don't hear about it failing all the time on the c2c or SouthEast services, or the East Coast Mainline, so why is the GWR Mainline such a problem area?
