Troublesome 70s
70008 was working through the week, but seems to have failed near  Aynho on Friday, then reported failed at Hams Hall on Saturday, awaiting removal DIT on Monday. A driver wrote: Yep, much the same software/computer failure as mine with 020. Total loss of power and auxiliaries. Rescued by an DBS shed and dumped at Hams Hall on arrival.
70017 was removed DIT on a Millbrook - Leeds on Friday morning - it joins 70018 at Leeds. 70017 is understood to have wheel flats.
70020 seems to have had very limited work during the week, only working Maritime - Trafford Park on Wednesday evening, but it failed at Atherstone, Warwickshire, and recovered by a Class 66. Then DIT on 4O09 back to Maritime. The driver wroteI know exactly what what was up with it, I was driving it it when it threw in the towel! Arrival in the platform at Atherstone was 01.45. All auxiliaries gone, no power, no compresses, no brake.
