A computer-implemented method for alerting a user to the presence of a fault in an electromechanical system in a railway infrastructure, the method comprising: receiving electrical usage data indicative of the value of an electrical usage parameter associated with the electromechanical system; receiving temperature data indicative of the present temperature of the electromechanical system; determining, based on a predetermined relationship between the electrical usage parameter and the temperature, whether or not the value of the electrical usage parameter is indicative of a fault in the electromechanical system and if so, issuing an alert to indicate the presence of the fault.
