1M84 terminated at Long Eaton?

[truecrimelover]

According to RTT, 1M84 (18:45 Cardiff Central to Nottingham) terminated at Long Eaton last night (26/5/26). Can anyone confirm if they know if this is accurate? I’ve never known a train to terminate at Long Eaton before?

It appears correct as it then ran empty to Leicester as 5M84. Suspect there may have been an issue with driver hours or a need to get the unit back to the depot on time. Often happens when there are delays and can occur the other way around where a service starts at Long Eaton rather than Nottingham due to the unit being late off Leicester.

Its ECS move afterwards is showing as starting from Trent South Jn, so would have run from Long Eaton like 1M84 suggests and then got back on path there.

Trains can terminate anywhere, then run empty, if necessary. Not likely in this scenario but as an example a train could develop a door fault at long Eaton, or some other problem potentially being a safety issue if there was an emergency, so the train has to continue without passengers. Etc

I remember around a year ago I remember seeing photos of a Northern train (I think it was a Class 150/1) on the move empty stock after having to terminate very abruptly at a small unstaffed Station, because one of it's passenger doors physically couldn't be closed, even after Train Crew tried to lock the door out of use.

It ended up proceeding empty with the exterior Door still wide open, hence all passengers having to leave the train beforehand.
