I do believe it was a Northern unit and NOT TPE.

It wasn't TPE it was a Northern

331018 failed at Mauldeth Rd with a VCB fault

VCB? What's that?

Definitely Northern, TPE wouldn't send a train from Crewe seeing as they operate nowhere near there.

VCB? What's that?

Vacuum Circuit Breaker. Complicated switch that connects the train to its pantograph.

Correction to above it just that a local report ie press said transpennie service. In actually was a northern service which. Failed apologies if it was . Just misunderstanding over a yet another press wrong statement. Should have said service

And here was me thinking you were talking about TfN's warning to TPE about their abysmal performance.
