You may be thinking of an incident where there was a VERY rare
case of a wrong-side signal failure, i.e. a signal was not at stop
when it should have been.

If so, it has no relation to Granville, unless you draw a very remote
connection about inadequate maintenance (too remote to be real, I fancy).
