Avanti Pendolino Drags 12/06/24

[The Snap]

Was driving north on the M6 early this morning and saw a Pendolino stopped dead on the Down at Plumpton, Cumbria. It had a DRS 57 on the front. It was about 06:20 ish.

Later on my way back south I saw another Pendo being dragged southbound by a 57 at Shap about 15:30 ish.

Were there OLE issues today on WCML in Cumbria, or were these moved planned?

Thanks

Failure of 1M20 last night. Took most of the night to move/clear up/ resolve.

Bit of further context, the set was ready to be dragged this morning however due to a booked possession at Longsight Car M.D. it had to wait there until the afternoon

What was the fault?

Air leak causing the brakes to apply.
