Ughhh! That disgusting hermetically sealed sheeple carrying shitbox!

[24nov67]

does it rely on the diesel for braking as it has no electric current to operate it's own braking system? if so it must a tremendous amount of strain on tje diesel locos brakes?

[merseyrail508124]

@24nov67 if i remember rightly, one of the various pipes connecting the loco to the unit controls the braking, but im not entirely sure. Hth! Luke

why was it being towed did it break down?

[merseyrail508124]

@terry987654 No overhead wires on the north wales coast line, so it needs a loco to drag it! Thanks for the comment
