Yes, fuelling arrangements were put into place a couple of days after the unit became locked in.
Probably not needed before then.

There were two delays on journeycheck earlier said to be caused by speed restrictions due to hot weather.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I was on this train the 15:12 ex Padd.  The driver stopped short at Hayes as the plastic sheet / bag just above the leading coach, luckily the driver spotted it so it did not get wrapped around the Pan.   The train was evacuated and the next service 15:27 ex Padd stopped on platform 1 and held to allow the transfer.

Got caught up in this one. Axle-counter failure on the down main at Didcot East Junction. There was a service on the up main that was caught up for some time too, so I suspect there might have been a bit of points detection failure in the mix as well. Third down train in line to be talked passed signals at danger.
