I wonder what the plan is to move the set. Either use the rear power car to push it to Neville Hill or go to Cricklewood.

No point going to Cricklewood, as that's just a stabling point, most likely taken to Etches Park?

Gone back north most likely to Derby. 43045 was on the north end and 43054 on the south end. No evidence of a fire when the set passed East Midlands Parkway about a hour ago. 43045 was isolated with 54 pushing the set.

Indeed - The fire was in 045 than 054. Suspected Turbo Failure was the cause when I left work.

Crumbs, that's gonna be a slow job. Better than the train stuck in Leicester obviously but how's the driver going to know what's in front etc?

Just because 43045 has it's engine isolated doesn't mean it can't be driven from. It just means the other power car will be doing the pushing.

No reason why you can't drive from affected power car when isolated as long as the controls are not damaged.
