All three? Darn. That's pretty unlucky.

Something else very rare as well i noticed today.
Quite a bit of snow up north, and a little around in Stevenage.

We all know how hectic things get at the mention of snow... And my train managed to arrive 2 minutes early. Rarely gets in normal time on a good day so that was quite a surprise today :P

More likely it encountered something which caused damage to all three shoegears.

I love the way it seems to be infinite when you can't see the end.

I've seen a 24 car 375 before now, when an 8 car broke down acouple of years ago, another 8 car attempted to push that one but then that one broke down and the third one came along (another 8 car) which managed to get the train to canterbury east at the time (then broken down again!)
