The Ticket Collector

Another NXEC failure

April 11, 2008 on 5:00 pm | In NXEC |

At 1643 today a driver reported seeing water or smoke coming from the rear power car of an NXEC train (1635 Kings Cross to Leeds).

The train was stopped at the next station and safety checks were made, and the result of which was the driver of the 1635 service to Leeds stating he had dragging brakes on the rear.

This is yet another NXEC train failure messing up the East Coast mainline. Trains do fail, but if you had have kept the maintenance budget the same instead of making cut backs these failures wouldn’t keep happening.

  1. Which one was that then? There were two broken down trains today weren’t there - one around New Barnet and one around Biggleswade I thought. Certainly made for a nice extended journey home…
