Looks like someone was trying to create one of those 'drifting trains' that you see people doing on train simulator!

I always wondered what it would look like in real life!
Back to the point, how did this accident occur?
The points moved under the train. One half went on one road the other half went on anotherLooks like someone was trying to create one of those 'drifting trains' that you see people doing on train simulator!

It did one Lincoln and back then went for a rest
Bugger. I saw 017 & 020 were due through my local about 20 mins apart and they were 2 of the last 3 I wanted so I went. Got 020, obviously should have gone to see the earlier run
Thanks for the update. Has / when was 195021 delivered?
Many thanks 507021. Do you know whether or not it entered service before its sprang, and when's it's expected back from Llanwern, please?
Thanks for the update - much appreciated.
195015 in service today, it is working Manchester Picc to Sheffield.
Excellent spot, many thanks. Off to the end of the road to see it shortly then!
12.00 - spotted at Dore & Totley running 3 minutes late after being held to allow empty cement wagons from Dewsbury to pass through the single track section to Earles.
If all the Hope Valley stoppers could be operated by 195s, I imagine their high performance would greatly help recovery from such delays. On the return working, I see from RTT that 195015 was 3 minutes late at Earles but arrived at Piccadilly 3 early!

Happy yourself and Killingworth got it. It is one of my last ones, so I check everyday to see if it is out and about. I’m hoping it will out on the Lincoln’s soon and I will see it for myself.

It was delivered to Edge Hill on the 11th of November. When you say “no sign of it” we’re you on shed ? Or were you viewing the yards from a public place? I would have thought it would be inside the shed being connected together and going through the first stage of static acceptance testing. I would be surprised if it was out on mileage accumulation so soon after delivery.
Ah, fair enough. I was passing on a train from South Parkway to Lime Street. I’ve seen other newly arrived units from the line before, but not this one.
Today saw the first unit enter the new shed!

They certainly seem to take off better but that's an impression partially created by the lack of noise we're familiar with on Pacers and 150s! Sadly the delays caused by other trains on the Sheffield - Manchester route needs more than the slightly improved performance of 195s to offset. All the Hope Valley stations were in the worst 100 in the country for punctuality over the last 4 weeks and that's with 2/3 of stopping services operated by 195s.If all the Hope Valley stoppers could be operated by 195s, I imagine their high performance would greatly help recovery from such delays.
