    I guess it caught its reflection in a platform shelter and decided self-immolation was the only way out? :flame:

    >> 'Failed 70.001 through Eastleigh 1551 dragged by 70.019'

    That's taking a chance. The only good reports recently appear to be about 70013!! <BJ>

    Class 70's should also be banned for their contribution to global warming (i.e. when they catch fire).

    Just heard that the class 70s are grounded due to a further incident. The info was not from an official source so may not be totally accurate, although they are rather close.

    In a few years time when they are all lined up in a scrapyard and the scrapman is taking a gas axe to them, I wonder if we'll have a thread bemoaning "locos being scrapped", and being desperately asking the "they" department to save them all...
