70005 had a small engine fire today shortly after leaving Wigan North Western some time after midday. It didn't even make it as far as Hindley. Fire service extinguished it according to the signaller I spoke to - and it was dragged back into WNW by the 66 that was tailing it.
These locos are cursed today it would seem; as 70001 had to shed a load of ballast wagons at Bolton after triggering a hot axle box detector near Lostock Jct this morning.
Thought this might interest some of you as I know they're a topic of conversation (love and hate) amongst enthusiasts
