It did suffer some broken springs - two replaced in August and one in the week after the gala. A good possibility that they were broken during...
34007 and 850 on trains today (Wedds) - same planned for Thursday and Friday. 45379 was on Footex today.
I was TTI on Sunday and 34007 failed mid-afternoon with a suspected big end bearing. Not confident that really was the cause - more later on this....
