Nice to see that the Dusty Bins are being recycled, even though they're utterly gutless.

I see that they're getting 'new flooring'. Just as well since the existing ones are rotten.

I had a 4-car one die on me at Baldock once. It drove normally up til then. After station duties were completed I shut the doors and pulled the power handle - nothing. Checked the Traction Interlock light (ie, all doors proven to be closed) - all OK. Put it into reverse and took power against the brake - nothing. Changed ends and tried to take power from the rear cab - nothing.

The damn thing just got tired of living and gave up the will to live. I had to call for Assistance Protection, and ended up with an 8 car 365 on the back. Even as a 12 Car with the front 4 dead, the back 8x 365s still had loads of ooomph. Good old 365s, so reliable.

That was actually quite strange - sitting in a 321 cab and operating its dead controls, but going like stink every time I took power.

Just another day day at the Fun Factory, I guess.

Cheers, John.
