Just reading through the various comments about this incident and came upon this one posted by Modernrailways......... As a Driver THIS is exactly the type of comments that really make Drivers Blood boil. Yet another comment from an Arm Chair expert! No doubt other Drivers in this Forum...

Just to add that Drivers Hours vary between Train operators. Likewise Drivers conditions. Passenger TOCS and Freight TOCS also have very different conditions which affect Driver Hours.

Its a complete Loco! All intact inside and out! Just dumped on Arpley No 8 Road out the way!!!!!

There seems to be a problem that prevents the Arriva Logos being applied........... the uneven shape of the Loco sides!

The actual level of Fan noise that you hear will vary depending on how hard the Loco has been working whilst under Power and Braking conditions. The very low end is when only the Cooling Fans for the two Traction Convertors and Transformer are running at low speed or step 1! After being worked...
