Noticed a Voyager (1S43), and a couple of extra XC turbostars on the CDF - NOT axis passing Hinckley earlier whilst waiting to go into Tesco.

Looking at the signalling diagrams, 6M57 Lindsey - Kingsbury and 6E54 Kingsbury - Humber have both come to a halt either side of Tamworth Station. There was a CDF - NOT service right behind 6E54 (09:45 ex-CDF) but that seems to have vanished from the diagram.

Hope it's nothing bad.

6E54 has broken down with a smoldering wheeler by the looks of it, fire service has been to the site to deal with it.

It occured close enough to Tamworth station that the Fire Brigade found it necessary to shut the WCML as well for a period. At one stage there were 2 trains stood Down TV Fast and 2 Down TV Slow, one of which was 87002 returning from it's run to Rugby.
