An eight minute delay doesn't seem that bad. I can remember an occasion a couple of years back when I was going from Heywood to Bury behind the Duke of Gloucester. About five minutes after leaving the station the train came to a halt, according to the gaurd a section of brake pipe had come away. The train sat there for about an hour and a half before we were rescued by D5054. Still, perhaps the Germans should protect there brake pipes better. Do they use air or vacuum brakes?
