Hi all For all those that haven't heard of this yet, here's the BBC article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57036247 From other forums, there was a yaw damper issue on the new 195s (I think) last week. Some GWR 800s stopped too. This is apparently on the body shell. Another forum spoke of the jacking points. When was the last time a whole class was withdrawn? For some reason, I thought of the Britannias. Stu Log in to reply |

03piggs in post 139369 said:The yaw damper issues are affecting CAF units (believe some 195s and 331s stopped currently, with 397s and Mk 5s also being monitored). (EDIT: Have now seen that Hitachi also had yaw damper issues last week...) Bodyshell issues have seen the entire Hitachi 80x fleets stopped today. It appears the bulk of the affected sets are with GWR. "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now."

The wessex EMUs were temporarily withdrawn when they kept tripping track circuits on adjacent lines weren't they? What are GWR doing about a lack of stock, just cancelling everything? "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

jc92 in post 139375 said:What are GWR doing about a lack of stock, just cancelling everything?That's been the approach so far. Various rumours online about plans for other TOCs to provide cover where possible, stretching the 387/DMU/2+4 HST fleets, contacting charter operators etc. I don't think anything has been confirmed as yet.

Good excuse to bring back loco hauled workings with some Cl.47/4s & Cl.37/4s & such like. Far more reliable.

Looks like some LNER services are now running again. All the reports point to fatigue cracking which will be usage related so the impact is likely to be greater on the GWR sets as they came into service before the LNER sets.

I remember a Bobbie from Liverpool Street who said the 90s when tested after introduction out of Liverpool Street they blew the OLE circuits.

I suspect the coaches would be an issue more than the locos too, ie not being enough about
