  • @60037 Funny, not what i hear from the fitters in Laira, totaly the opposite infact.

  • BBC News: Train Driver wakes up to find horse's head in his bed.

    Police say they suspect Network Rail employees are responsible.

  • that could cause a lineside fire nice vid

  • MTU's are garbage - more problems now than ever before - FGW are known for cancelling services now because the cant turn out enough PC's to cover the diagrams

  • gawd that must had hurt the rails,well done for photoing this!

  • Since the HST power cars were reengined with MTU power units, hey suffer terrible trouble keeping their feet on a damp rail. The driver only has 5 power notches and wheelspin starts in notch 3. The MTU seemsto deliver its torque in a way that the wsp cant cope with. The driver is only warned of wheelslip when it gets so bad that wsp intervenes and cus the power. Nothing the driver can do without risking coming to a stop!

  • Looks very severe!

    The huge amount of sparking indicates that all the slippery/greasy residu on the tracks is already complete gone, these wheels are grinding into the rails by now.

    It can be caused by a failure in the control system of the rear power car.

    I noticed this years ago with a multiple of 2 locomotives, where the second locomotive kept 1 or 2 notches higher than the front engine, causing it to slip on the wet tracks and almost comming to a stop on the steepest part of the line.

  • Grinder HST

  • I notice that they've replaced a section of track on the up line of Dainton bank recently (last 4 months). Wonder if it's related.

  • What you have to remember is dainton is a very steep bank with track greasers, this coupled with bad weather, rain and leaf fall makes driving up it hard. More so if slowed down or stopped for any reason. If the driver had not taken the action he did the delay to this train and all other services in the area would have been huge.
