Hello again all!
Another odd thing seen at Stockport this morning, at around 0910 I came onto platform 2 to find an Arriva Trains Wales Class 175 in platform 3 literally billowing smoke out across the station and making a dreadful rattling sound like a jack-hammer on concrete.
As far as I could see the smoke was coming from the exhaust between the front two (of three) carriages.
It remained like this for a good 10 minutes before the smoke died down and it departed as normal (although sounding a bit worse for wear).
All the passengers remained on-board and but although I couldn't see anything happening on the far side of the train, there was what appeared to be a workman walking away from the train before it departed.
Does anyone have any idea what might have happened to it?
