34067 Tangmere

Post by Andy W »

Got into a bit of bother last night on the SW main line on a Weymouth bound charter. From reports the firemans side con rod became detached at the small end and bounced around the juice rail for a bit. Took a bit of a time to make safe but everyone got home ok, if a little late.

All a bit of a shame because Tangmere has been a good performer and this incident is bound to get some "official" attention from one of the safety authorities. It shouldn't have happened though.
