Today (21st) noticed while leaving northwich this morning around 10:20 4489 working the st johns 29 circuit, this is a real rarity as usually its on the 38s solid.

4143 was covering for 4489 on the 38 today & severely struggled climbing rood hill out of congleton, don't even think it managed 20mph......... Any ideas copey how big are the issues to sort on 4216, nothing too serious hopefully?

Too serious for our engineers I'm afraid. I believe that external engineers are to be fetched in to try and fix it. It has numerous electrical faults and was going to be sent back to where it came from but we are now told that we are keeping it. 4215 should be joining it when the problems on that have been sorted out.
4489 had probably been off earlier in the day due to engineers being fetched in from Cummins to fix some performance issues that it had been having, hence it turning up on a 29.
