ROUTINE inspection has revealed a crack in the mountings for the ETS (Electric Train Supply) module under a Class 68 on hire from DRS to Chiltern Railways.
Inspections of the all locos on hire to Chiltern revealed cracks in seven out of eight locomotives and as a result loco-hauled workings using two diagrammed sets ceased, and would be covered by DMUs. This would mean some trains are formed of fewer carriages.
