47828 on the down beds throughout tonight (21/8/07).

57605 burst on the down beds last night, but managed to be coaxed back to life. It took over the up beds, and sat down again. 603 to the rescue as far as Slough (I think), where it also sat down. The journey was completed by some yinging device. 604 can't be used because of some sort of engine defect, and 602 is on the up beds tonight.
