Hst failure Kings X-Aberdeen

[martyn29]

Late running KingsX-Aberdeen came through darlington at 1440 today, was due at 1300, possibly 67 hauled? does anyone know if this is true, the rear powercar was MTU and that was switched on.
cheers for any information.

I didn't think that a 67 could multiplex with a 43 and thus cannot control the 43.

They don't. AFAIK they 67 just drags the HST and one of the power cars provides the ETH for the train as usual.

The 67 buckeye coupling and the 43 bar what is inside the pannel thing they couple to that and the class 67 powers the train leavin both power cars on standby and the 67 provides ETH

...the 67 provides ETH
