Class 171 Slide/Loss of traction

[NLC1072]

Was on a class 171 southeastern train from Hastings to Ashford international tonight, and it couldn't gain traction at all all the way from Rye to Ashford, and slid into Ham Street missing the 2 car marker by miles! Was worse than a Pacer!... nodding donkey all the way lol

Just thought you'd all like to know =)
