@lhrjc Was the national express train A HST or a 91

I know we love these little operators that nibble the fringes of the high speed network, but lets be honest kids... its not really gonna work. GC has a horrendous record for defects and breakdowns.

See, 43065 did something similar to me a couple of weeks ago. More fuel starvation than a gearbox fault. Thank god 43123 is a better power car. It shoved us to Retford

Grand central hsts are now performing more reliability than the MTU fitted class 43's

No, one power car cannot move a train when the wheels are locked! They had to move it at about 5mph. Have you not seen the other video?
Was this the one that was taken away by a low loader about a week alter?

Exactly. The crew dealt with it professioanlly and there wasn't anything more anyone could've done. Plus there was a ridiculously drunk bloke keeping us all entertained anyway ;)

Whoops!
More egg on GC's face, but an innovative videoing techinique which, nevertheless, gets the point across!
