Was going to report a flawless performance on the 755s today..but currently sitting at Bury after an engine shutdown as we were on the verge of departing.
Engines restarted but not moving yet...
Edit: finally moving 10 late after a couple of false starts.
Edit 2. The guard has just come though apologising for the delay - claiming it is a problem with one of the engines. A driver bringing this in earlier said the TMS had been flagging up engine temp warnings. However it had run okay despite that.
We have plenty of padding in the schedule..so not too worried about arriving late in Cambridge unless the issue reoccurs starting from Newmarket or Dullingham. Strange that all 4 engines shut down. Can they not simply isolate the faulty one from.providing traction until it cools down?
