Hanging Off The End
GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92014 stands well off the end of Platform 15 at Euston waiting to haul the stock from the Up Lowlander back to Wembley following a serious incident involving a collision with collapsed Overhead Line Equipment (OHLE) in Kensal Green Tunnels.
Sister engine 020 at the head of the Caledonian Sleeper Up Lowlander (1M11) collided with the OHLE that had come down in the tunnels just after 0617 that morning. After several hours, passengers were detrained and Direct Rail Services' 57 307 arrived from Rugby (via Euston) as 1Z99 (Thunderbird) to rescue 1M11 (now 5M11). The 57 dragged the stricken train into Euston to allow further inspection and passengers to collect their belongings, prior to 014 dragging the stricken sleeper back to Wembley.
Fortunately the driver escaped injury, however 020 suffered various equipment and bodywork damage, including broken windscreen, ripped off horn and various dents, scratches and scorch marks.
