92 020 is currently heading very slowly - Max speed 10 mph and 5 mph through switches and crossings - from Wembley depot to Eastleigh Works on a wheel skate, topped and tailed by 66 687 and 66 719. Apparently the 92 has a seized axle. They spent the night at Woking and set off again early this morning (0Z92). Does anyone know if this is one of the locos that failed on the Sleeper earlier this week?

Not two wheel skates for a seized axle?

Just been through RTT and doesn't appear that 92020 has been used, at least not at the London end, all week. (Checked all arrivals, departures and ECS workings)
