Perhaps the same problem as Slough to Windsor and Eton where the trains wouldn't start without expert attention. 3 Units needed but if they were all in a single siding and the one at the front didn't play ... It'll be something like that. In the end they lost the first seven trains, attributed as "due to a problem at the depot". Then they got going, for the rest of the day (so far).
