How badly damaged is the Pendo, and is WB64 likely to be out all next week.

90048 south through Bletchley at 1728

 

[Chester025]

Allocated to do the same diagrams today.

Broken again...
Skoda rubbish!

 

[TomJ93]

The Skoda is fine. Shame the DVT has lost it's air!

Personally I'd run the 90 round, easy as it's at New Street and haul it to Wembley and put the spare DVT on.

 

[allticketspls]

Worked the normal relief train today with the Skoda unusually at the London End.

 

[TomJ93]

^ a few Pendos were running the service after it failed about midday. TDM failure, so the 90 would've spun it around, taken it to Wembley where it would be fixed, and sent on it's merry way, albeit in reverse formation.

It's in reverse today. Skoda at the south end, DVT/first class at the north.

 

[TomJ93]

I thought that from VT Rugby's Twitter.

Do I go out on it again, I have enough cash to bash it to London and back!

Do you know if WB64 is booked to do the same diagrams tomorrow.

 

[AlterEgo]

AFAIK, it's just doing the normal Friday diagram, 1843 EUS-CRE.

 

[DarloRich]

Is it 100% out today? If so i will delay my return form York to catch it on the 1903 from Euston

 

[MCR247]

It is AFAIK

 

[Skimble19]

Interesting to see LM's Twitter feed yesterday referred to it as the "Pretendolino" (it had failed at Watford so was delaying LM services IIRC) - I don't think I've seen it referred to as that in any "official" context before (only by us enthusiasts)

Perhaps the person manning it is a bit of a secret enthusiast?

This is a definite. Although you may be getting this a bit late.

[DarloRich]

The 1903 yesterday didnt run - heard conflicting stories - either:

A - the train failed or
B - No on board train crew due to late running in bound workings
C - No driver with class knowledge due to late running inbound working

MOST unhappy! LOL

 

[AlterEgo]

I'm reliably told that this was unfortunately due to a passenger on the service being taken ill.

I did see info at the time about "awaiting train crew" though. Seems this was incorrect.

I did see some one being wheeled on a stretcher down the ramp to what became the 1903, seemingly in a bad way with two paramedics in attendance and two policemen shouting at people to get out of the way

I didnt see anyone taken OFF the train

 

[Simon Poole]

The 1142 to Birmingham New Street at Coventry got terminated at Coventry! and was working the 1211 to London Euston with an stop at Rugby! the plan was to ride on the 1142 from Coventry to Birmingham but ended up riding from Coventry to Rugby!!! it left Rugby late around 1230!

 

[saracen43]

[MCR247]

Ok cheers for that,from a personal point of view i hope we have another pendo failure soon.
