And there it is.... GC had no spares, no contingency, no hope of pulling it off. HT had a spare train till they (literally) dropped it, but even now they have sourced another unit and allowed down time on a set for maintenance. GC gambled on not needing a spare and rushed trains into service as and when they could. A one way road to disaster.
