How many wheels were on skates? It could just be a bad flat spot.Does anyone know why London Midland's 153334 has been sat in Coventry yard for the week? As of Thursday it was seemingly put onto wheelskates, this must be a serious engine/transmission issue?

That does point towards a serious drivetrain issue.From what I could see it was both axles at the 'non original' end. Believe they are the driving axles, although I may be wrong
To need to fit a skate it would need to either be tyre damage (or rather tread damage on monoblocs) or something preventing the wheel set turning such as axle bearing failure, final drive/gearbox failure or traction motor failure (for vehicles fitted with TMs ).
