@talktalkmodem As I work down at Liverpool Street Station on the tracks I can confirm she is leaving from platform 5. She also blew the overheads again at Maryland (just outside Stratford) which tripped the TPWS on the loco, and then hit the buffers at norwich.

Great video. Bet the smell was something else afterwards as well!!

I wonder if they found a burned out gouge in the chimney top? If so it may be down to a slight prime of dirty water up the chimney, it would have flashed over with the high voltage overhead.

I believe that as a result of this incident steam traction is now restricted to Platforms 1-10 at Liverpool Street - ie the ones under the Victorian trainshed rather than the office block. Love the way the steamer carriers on merrily out of the station seemingly unaware it has just stuffed the job up for everyone else!! lol
