    Drivers were:
    Alan Hall (Newcastle). (Had to travel as PASS back to Newcastle).
    Nicholas Wilson (Doncaster). (Phoned Neil Castle to come with 67022).
    Neil Castle (Doncaster). (Took the failed train back to Bounds Green).

    Looks like a dropper from the OHLE. Saw something similar wrapped around the pantograph of a Class 321 a few years ago.

    An interesting video Trevor. I witnessed almost an identical event with a class 91 about two years ago in the very same spot and that was a piece of wire just like this one. It also resulted in the train being taken out of service. I did video it but don't think I posted on TH-cam. Cheers - Allan.

  • @soundseeker63
    @soundseeker63 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Strange how they were able to remove the wire, then decided to withdraw the train.
    I can see why it couldn't carry on with it dangling like that, it could have caused a flashover and knocked out the power supply. In BR days they'd have just yanked it out and sent it on its way! Theses days TOCs have no reservations about making passengers change trains.

    • @craigybus1

    This is what you get when you such a fragmented rail infrastructure, years ago a Diesel loco from York shed would have been stuck in front after the Electric was pulled off. Things like this are just not planned for, I suppose if it had been the new Hitachi trains which are diesel/electric combination wouldn't have been able to go in Diesel only mode because of the flying cable getting caught.

    Trevor, we owe a lot to you and guys like you who have filmed these scenes to document history. I never tire of watching your videos. I adore the class 91 and as you know my layout is based on the era when the 91's were brand new. In fact the latest Cavalex models 91 CAD renders have been released. They look amazing and will finally give me a good detailed 91 to run on my layout. Check the video out, th-cam.com/video/arvKTOOjt98/w-d-xo.html Cheers. Dave

    This is indicative of the unnecessary fucking around of the privatisation era. Rather than taking the train out of service, simply drop the 91 in a siding and allow the 67 to take the train onward,but that's too simple for today's railway operators.
