Failed EMUs Runcorn
As Oscar Wilde might have put it: “To have one unit fail may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two fail looks like carelessness.” This view shows 304006 stabled on the Folly Lane branch alongside Runcorn station, having failed earlier that day while working a local service between Liverpool and Crewe. Although it blocked the branch, this was the only available place to stable the failed unit, as the siding next to the former wagon works was already occupied by 303053 which had failed the previous day.
