Terrible quality ride EC Virgin 125

H, I am on the 9:52 from Aberdeen to King's x, in coach C, it feels like the coach is not coupled correctly as it's bumping against the next coach, I thought with buckeye coupling it would be a tight fit?

You sometimes get that kind of rough ride if the rear power car has a fault. Though, that said, it doesn't seem to be losing any time so that's probably not it.

Is this occurring continuously or mainly whilst accelerating away from station stops signal checks etc. ?

Now losing time on the 125mph section of the EMCL (currently down by 10 minutes) so it may be a PC fault after all.

The delay has been put down to following another late-running train. Only 2 minutes has been given to "unexplained reasons" which on further investigation could be a train fault.
