Wrexham train fire 08/2/23

[SuperLuke2334]

Yes 008 was moved back in the early hours the other morning - not sure which day. 5mph all the way I believe with 008 sandwiched between 009 and another fleet mate. I believe they had staff in both middle cabs incase the unit separated as the uncouple button had previously been pressed but didn't work.

They can be manually uncoupled.

Thank you, I did spot the move. There was no allocation though so worth asking! Thanks again.

Guessing this was the move? If so, it took 2h39m to do 13 miles, averaging at 5.2mph

Saw one of the coaches of 175008 on the back of a low loader at Chester Depot yesterday tea time.

Have seen reports today of two coaches spotted on the M6 near Brum this morning. Possibly both coaches of 175008?

No idea of destination

One if the coaches of 008 is now part of 101 so the second one will be the fire damaged coach from that set.

Good pic! I'm surprised it wasn't covered up. A flame-blacked train carriage is hardly a good advert for the railways!
