HST Passes Didcot With No Rear Power Car

[Bluesbreaker2010]

this isn't the first time a HST has ran without a rear PC, it happened in the 80's I have records of the train somewhere but I need a good root through to find then info. interesting nevertheless

[WICKEDRAILWAYZz]

[1madaboutguitar]

Someone stole it

[JohnPW22]

Never heard of this happening before on a service train - very rare catch!

[ClassA4Mallard]

That's very odd, definitly never seen a HST running with only one power car

[mrwacca1]

i've never seen that before that's a rare catch

[MrWebbster1997]

weird

[trainfanNL]

Separately, I thought the chap was a trainset 125. Apparently not when I see this movie. Such a train can be shortened.

[fran1925]

I saw an Hst with an EWS class 37 on one end and a class 43 on the other end. This was on the ECML. Anyone know what this was about?

[HSTRodney]

Thers a powercar

[Doomsday2060]

Oh that is always happening nowadays but they tell us not to tell the general public or the media about it.

[edj66]

@Doomsday2060 Why?

[AshHill07]

Its missing more than just a Class 43. Theres a coach missing too.

[hstman14]

That is soo cool! Bit of information if your interested.. 43186+43181 were working this service from PAD-PNZ a coach had a serious problem so terminated at Reading. 43181 came off rear with buggered coach and stayed in DGL at Reading 43186 with 7 stock ran empty to Bristol. At night 43194 ran OOC-Reading and reered onto 43181+Coach and ran very very slowly to OOC!!! This very rare working is 5Z91. Great capture!

[Jonnyvalenta]

Have never seen that before lol

[intercityHST]

very weird! was the train in service?

[HSTcerney]

im pretty sure it was mate i saw people sat in it lol :P

[intercityHST]

lol very unusual there was probably something wrong we the rear PC so he left it behind

[HSTcerney]

lol maybe it in hedges somewere :P

[intercityHST]

lol yh that would be funny

[conwaytwitty33]

@intercityHST That was my first thought, it probably had a failure and if it wasn't near a MPD with a spare then the best thing to do is get it towed away by a freight loco, no point have it drag behind the train.

[midlandspotters]

haahhahaha tht was funny 5 star

[mststv]

"Hey mate, ya dropped ya rear PC !"

[SWT442]

Blimey! That's unusual.
