225 being hauled by a 67

[dickdarlington]

This morning a class 67(043 I think) went through Darlington (at 08:43) non stop pulling a 225 set. It wasn't the Flying Scotsman as that had already passed (on time for a change).

Does anyone know what this was? I am assuming that it is a broken down set being moved for repair.

Ta in advance

I'm still looking for that one
Strange, just over an hour earlier and 67025 was dragging 91108 southbound

 

[DarloRich]

it might have been the same one!

I think there was a failed 225 set at Durham or Newcastle last night

 

[dickdarlington]

Sorry Rail-Britain, I meant 07:43. So you and I saw the same one

Think taht was the Aberdeen HST that was mentioned, unless there was another unrelated failure.

could be well be - It just a snippett i heard at work. I assumed it to be a 91

An HST did fail, but there was also a 225 mentioned in the same thread - http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=834811&postcount=7

91108 was the mallard we saw in Platform 4 at Newcastle last night that had been dragged up from Durham with an EWS class 67.

Presumably Heaton tried to effect a repair, but the spare set was put into operation instead
Cascade of Class 67 locos through the day and 67025 went into Thunderbird at Kings Cross

Another broken down Mallard today causing a bit of disruption to southbound trains between Peterborough and Stevenage.

The broken down train is the 8:45 Leeds to Kings Cross service I believe.
