The empty Southern Railways service heading towards London broke down
just before Gatwick Airport around 6 am.

This halted north bound services out of Brighton including packed
trains to Victoria. The stricken train was cleared around 8 am but
there were huge knock-on delays.

It's getting worse for the evening peak.- Hide quoted text -

442s involved, quelle surprise...


How can an electric train consisting of 2 seperate units completely break
down? Surely even if one unit is declared dead the other would be able
to push/pull?

B2003


It was a single unit. 442421
