It's where the engine becomes defunct for a prolonged period of time, or the brakes refuse to disengage. Or the electrics go awry...

I've been asked to get off a fair few doubled up 143's at St Davids due to one or both units developing a fault in the last month or two.

Here's hoping that cascade happens sooner rather than later, as I think this summer could prove a headache.
