I was on a XC train today from the south and terminating at Derby.
As we entered the south end of the station there was a rather loud 'clunk' and then silence as we coasted along without engine. The lights remained on and we braked normally to a halt. Is this normal?
PS the connecting EMT service north to Leeds was an old 125. The passengers made many favourable comments including "...what a lovely big new train...", "plenty of seats" ..."plenty of leg room"
