Damaged 395?

FlippyFF · 3 Sep 2016

Noticed on a digital sign at Ashford International that the weekday 07:06 Ashford Int. to St. Pancras will be formed of 6 cars due to damage to a unit. Does anyone know which unit and what happened to it?

TIA

Pretty sure it was 395020 and it was a coupling incident. Think it's gone to Wolverton for repairs.

Going too fast when coupling to another 395?

Surely that would mean another 395 has been damaged, unless a hybrid unit has been formed.

Has been issues before where one of the units (more likely the one being driven) has failed to open the nose doors when coupling.

This one is from last year at St Pancras.

I dont know any of the circumstances surrounding this one..

One car of it went up by road about a month back.

Previously mentioned in the shortage of southeastern 395's thread a few weeks ago.

End carriage 39201 of 395020 moved by road on 05/08/2016.

Not sure what that was. As stated, the one in question went around lunch time one day early last month.

Assume this is the same unit that was sat in Ashford Down Sidings on Friday night...

So, human error, or that fabled Japanese reliability we hear about? Presume we can look forward to more of the same with IEP.

What, wild speculation without knowing the full facts but finding something to blame it on? :lol:
