In addition to this yesterday (with massive delays and cancellations) there was a fatality near Torre, a 150 hit a car on the Gunnislake branch, there was a power outage at Taunton station which left them running on emergency generator power, signalling failures around Reading added 30 mins to the 23.33 BTM-EXD, and while waiting for that, this slunk quietly into Temple Meads!

I imagine it must have been a bit of a nightmare to be working in railway management while that lot was going on!
And I thought a bookshop at christmas was bad

What on earth would have caused that amount of oil loss? 43172 was smothered in it!

A hole in a piston could have been to blame - blows all the oil out pretty quickly.
