Dare I say just like days of old and no Knitting to get in the way, busy day for Breakdown & Recovery teams with a road/rail vehicle attending a minor derailment at Ellsmere Port also on MerseyRail metals. |

Crane, stencilled Bescot, ( assumed to be 96715. ) and support coaches seen at Shortlands 1140 on Monday 27th. Whether they used it or not I know not - crane often stands by whilst they use the jacks and if they're successful - no need for crane to be set up. I am reminded ( as far as the beasts are concerned ) of the old kentish ditty """'Why kill-em and cart-em to Canterbury?"""" |

As an addition to the rerailing. The damaged unit had the affected wheelsets placed on skates. The whole 8 coach train was then taken to Canterbury West by a class 66 loco The train was then taken away by Heritage Loco? A Thumper DEMU 1001 back to Ramsgate depot. You can see the skates on the attached youtube link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHedP-1ySFw The quarter mile of track damaged by the derailment has had to be relaid. https://twitter.com/se_railway?lang=en |
