Reported as indeed 1S14 involved, apparently it is suffering from a pantograph fault.
Edit: It's actually lost its pantograph. Extensive damage to the overhead lines on the down main has been reported by the driver of a freight train going in the opposite direction.
thunderbird is now close to the affected train for a drag back to donny
Transpennine Express are of course diverting their Newcastle Liverpool services that way today as well.
Reminds me of that time an electric loco was sent to inspect the overhead wires which were down...
1E14 is currently held at Ferryhill
On move south, just left 1415.
We were meant to be doing the TPE divert as well, but the services are canned. We were meant to be on the 1310 from Sheffield Northbound which we've been turfed off and are now on a Northern to Doncaster
Why are TPE services so badly affected even thought they don't run between york and Doncaster?
They are this weekend due to engineering work they are diverting via Doncaster & Sheffield on the Manchester Aiport to Newcastle runs
