LNER train hits a cow (24/05)

[hooky3]

An Azuma set has seemingly hit a cow near Durham today, another one out of serivce I’d guess to add to the problems

Unrelated matter but looks as tho LNER may lose another azuma unit temporarily. 1E03 has collided with cows south of Durham and is currently stranded on Croxdale Viaduct with nose cone, coupler and underframe damage.

Not be too good for the cows either I imagine.

Sincere apologies to our customers delayed on the 0526 Stirling-London King’s Cross @LNER service this morning (0802 departure from Newcastle). This picture shows the damage to the front of the train caused by cows on the line.

Thank you for your patience, sincere apologies. https://twitter.com/DavidHorne/status/1396780864873369604/photo/1

Will this set be renamed as an "Amooma".?

I might have to sit down and chew the cud on that idea.

Has there been more disruption on the LNER fleet today or is it all knock-on from cowmageddon? 09:52 ex Aberdeen caped to start in Edinburgh despite the set being in the platform in Aberdeen and the crew being available. Website was saying nothing. Customer service teams knew nothing. Twitter feed only said not only was it cancelled but whole load of other 91 vice Azuma / 5 car vice 9 swaps.

A fault with the driver safety device in the cab meant the unit wast fit to run, it will/has be moving to Craigentinny as an ecs.

Thanks! So unrelated to the various 91 vice 801 / 5 car vice 9 swaps then

I have to say, having spent the past 5 days in GW land, I didn't notice anything untoward in terrms of cancelled trains. IC125 and new trains seemed to be in place when needed.

It's been nice to get an IC225 back on the ECML though.
