So i wonder what the failure was. Down there, or is it up from York?, last week and the 153s were fine but I did see a "spare" unit parked at the West end of Truro, it would seem all day. So could that not act as a thunderbird? and then be the substitute? Or...am I being very naive here?  |

Can't confirm but I saw that unit from the P&R▸ bus. I think that it might have been faulty, I seem to remember difficulties on the line last week that might have coincided.

Excellent, so therefore can it not be sent out to pull the failure out of the way.  |

It was a spare, but only lasted two trips before it failed & went to plymouth empty

Better bite the bullet and wheel in a couple of top and tailed sets...perhaps two pairs of 33s or 37s  Let me know...it's only 8 hours from York |

Falmouth-Truro has gone pear shaped again I see...what is it with these 153s, are they that shot? No wonder Northern run around on the Harrogate line with no less than 3 coupled together...either super power or belt, braces and string!  |

Only thing is that one diagram in 1 vice 2 |

Surely that is a problem if they're only running an hourly service instead of every 30 minutes  |

Strange...the "current running" table atop this forum shows every second cancelled, or am I am reading it wrong? |

Multiple orange lines (short formed train) are 'appearing' to be red ones (cancelled)
