There has been a EMR class 180, sat down on the up fast line at Luton Airport since 0540. Only the leading door behind the cab is platformed.

A long distance service has developed a fault, blocking one of the four platforms at Luton Airport Parkway. Specialist engineers have attended and determined that the operation to get the train moving will need to happen at a quieter time so as not to disrupt train running further. Therefore, the train will be moved during the night, meaning trains running through Luton Airport station today will pick up delays of approximately 10 minutes today.
Suggested elsewhere EMR 109 at Luton Airport Parkway has a seized final drive (which would account for the challenge in moving it, which is not expected to happen until tonight).I wonder if the fault on 109 is the same that occurred on 114 last Thursday on the ECML? 114 suffered a complete electrical shutdown on the unit and could not be restarted.
Might be to do with being maintained at the same depot since new where as 180s have been nomadic.Strange that near identical class 175, are such a good train !! They have there issues, but perform well.
Seems to be on the move now as 5C00. Currently on the DF at Harlington.Suggested elsewhere EMR 109 at Luton Airport Parkway has a seized final drive (which would account for the challenge in moving it, which is not expected to happen until tonight).
When they’re not spontaneously combustingStrange that near identical class 175, are such a good train !! They have there issues, but perform well.
180114 is with Grand Central.I used 180114 a couple of Saturdays ago and the unit developed (from what I could tell) a passcom fault just north of Luton, followed then by a door fault at Market Harborough.
Ah, I meant to type 180113.180114 is with Grand Central.
I did think you meant 113!Ah, I meant to type 180113.

Will it be on skates . Via Melton is also quite a bit of absolute block signalling and slow linespeed compared to MML.More than six hours from Kettering to Derby!!!
Remember, it'll be at no more than what, 20MPH and on wheel skates though. Will it be on it's own or dragged by another unit I wonder.More than six hours from Kettering to Derby!!!
Interesting that according to RTT there’s nothing out of the norm booked into Kettering Stabling Sidings today, so unless there’s another 180 already there…?Remember, it'll be at no more than what, 20MPH and on wheel skates though. Will it be on it's own or dragged by another unit I wonder.

It took over 3 hours to just to get as far as Corby due faults with the pair of 180s.More than six hours from Kettering to Derby!!!
Do we know what faults they are yet or is that too early to determine?It took over 3 hours to just to get as far as Corby due faults with the pair of 180s.
