30/5 WCML disruption

[oversteer]

Up Slow line blocked between Tring and Berkhamsted due to a failed train.
Been told it has broken windows, but also that OHLE issue have caused ballast to flick up and hit the train (!)

What with that and the derailed engineering train at East Croydon, Southern are not having a good day! Does anyone know which is the unit that has failed at Berkhamsted, and exactly what has derailed at East Croydon?

It was one of LM's 350 sets, 350258 at one end, not sure what else made up the set. 0700 TRI - EUS service

OK - thanks. I was briefly wondering if it was a Southern unit but I really didn't think that was likely for various reasons.

North bound services have also been badly hit. My 0818 was 45 plus late into Bletchley with cancellations and knock on delays mounting up
