    This the only one I can recall(in 2013) when 35028 failed an FTR. Of course I had to be booked on it and "enjoyed" a full day of Class 67 haulage :eek:

    London Waterloo-Exeter [dbs]
    35028 Diesel: Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter-Castle Cary-Westbury, Yeovil Jn Laverstock Jn-Waterloo
    [Return now via Westbury vice Yeovil Jn due to gauging issues]
    [35028 unavailable (FTR), train now diesel hauled throughout]

    The normal routine is for the engine to run light from Kingswear to Churston for turning and then to Paignton for servicing. Then light engine again to Kingswear to pick up the train for its scheduled departure.

    TAU to EXD 35m 26s with 61 thro Wellington and 44 min out of Whiteball tunnel.

    PGN to KWR 26m 33s with slow stop. Only 22 thro Goodrington and slipped in the mizzle betw MP 223 1/2 and 3/4, but kept above 16 mph and rallied to 18 before falling to 14 at 224 3/4.
