This thread reminds me of a story I once heard, and I'd be grateful if any members can confirm whether there's any truth in it, or whether it's just a good story. It's supposed to have happened at Waveley about 20 years ago when a disgruntled shunter, who had just been sacked by BR went all the way along a London Express, disconnecting
only the main coupling between each carriage, without anyone noticing. Apparently it was quite a sight as the loco accelerated away ... 'like the biggest accordion you ever saw!'
?True story... ?Wind up?
