Which images are they? Do any photos show the Brake Distributor on the vehicle with the flats?From the images I've seen it would appear that one or more of the wheelsets have severe flats. This would indicate the wagon handbrakes were left on on the affected wagons.
Yes, the fault was that the brakes were being applied by an insufficiently attached DistributorNo it doesn’t. Similar comments were made on the thread during the oil train derailment in Wales the other year and it turned out to be a fault with the wagon.
I think that line runs very close to houses. In the south Wales RAIB report reference was made to the fact a local noticed the passing train sounding different (you must get so used to trains passingvthat you spot an anomally), which along with CCTV images, some from private addresses, helped build up a pretty good picture of the brakes being applied/wheels locking
