According to the Sectional Appendix, Class 56s are permitted on that route (GW108) with no restrictions. That would suggest NR are at fault, not DCR.

The cause of this incident has already been determined, and although I am not going to post what it was, I would caution against drawing conclusions.

Can someone provide some form of reference for this? No date given, no external reference. I can't find reference to this anywhere else.

The only reference I can find to a similar locomotive visiting Taunton in the last few days is here. There is no reference to any incident that I've been able to find. Log in to reply |
