"Horribly wrong" I would suggest is a significant over reaction. It failed as older locos and indeed modern ones do from time to time. The train got rescued and went to a different destination but arrived back at Crewe 2 mins late

A lot of work was done on 35025 at Loughborough, which eventually stalled and I think the setback of the parts theft has then knocked it further . I wonder whether and especially with SLL now gaining main line experience there may be some cross...
