Wakefield Line Disruption 11/2

[northernchris]

Does anyone know what the problem was this morning affecting trains between Wakefield and Doncaster? Look North were initially reporting overhead line problems then changed to a broken down train. Even at 0700 this morning East Coast were stating disruption was likely to last until 1000 which seems a long time to recover a failed train

I saw reports this morning (I think on NRE) saying a broken down train had damaged the overheads, so I assumed it had a damaged pantograph.

Something to do with a freight loco leaving Stourton with it's roof hatches open and damaging the overheads. I assume an FL 66?

Open panels on a locomotive damaged the OHLE near Bentley. I believe it may have been on this light loco working:
