Bear in mind they work in sets of 5, that's a lot of money.
A set of five was sent out of Whitemoor without a generator for a possession a few years back and the job got cancelled. How we laughed. GB's spineless management tried to blame a shunter for it but he had checked the TOPS list given to him by a Yard Master and had done what he was asked to do. I think a few people higher up got it in the neck.

No, nobody lost there job over it. GB had to always find a scapegoat when things went wrong and usually the lower down the pecking order the better. I lost count of the times I was accused of doing something I hadn't done. One of which resulted in a 10 week suspension where I had no case to answer at a disciplinary and another was where I allegedly didn't turn up for a medical when in fact I had but BUPA got me mixed up with somebody else who didn't turn up and passed on the incorrect info to GB. All managers were briefed that I was not allowed on site etc and that my PTS was to be taken off me. I still laugh to this day about it. All the effort that must have gone into trying to trip me up when a simple phone call to me could have rectified the situation. If ever you want to be treated like a school kid with no brain then be a shunter for GB.

That would be very unusual to be sent out as a 5 set without a generator.
The wagons are rigidly bolted together and not coupled into sets of 5s.
Could be that the generator in the set was known to be duff and should have been replaced but wasn't.
