    Class 180 reliability.

    No I was on the service. There was a medical emertgency on the train and it had to make an unscheduled stop at Grantham whilst paramedics attended and removed the patient from the train. The staff were really good at keeping everyone informed. If anything the unit performed well as a spirited...
