Class 170 Visits Dean Forest Railway

摘要

There was an unusual visitor for the Dean Forest Railway in early September when Cross Country Trains' 170110 was stabled there after being damaged when it hit cattle on the line at nearby Lydney. The train was working a Cardiff-Nottingham service on September 3 when the accident occurred. The unit suffered damage to the front, side and underneath and was unable to move on its own. It also suffered wheel flats due to severe braking. It was towed first to Lydney loop and later to the DFR where access could be gained by road transporters to take it to Tyseley depot for attention.
