Which evening services from York are boarded from one door only? Never ever seen that at that station.

Does Queen Street have capacity?

Nothing to stop a unit shunting into Nene Sidings when it terminates (would obviously require route knowledge). This would mean using platforms 4 or 5.

And what were the failures? This could have happened to a train that could have been in service 5-10 years?

001 and 020 as per post 1318.
