Oh dear. What an awkward place to sit down. I bet that if one of the pair is usable when uncoupled, it will be the rear one.

Some repeated info. Copied and pasted my post to a Facebook group.
2x 5 car IET▸ sat down at Hele & Bradninch between Exeter St Davids and Tiverton Parkway. 1A93 1400 Penzance - Paddington. Train stopped around 1710. Stationary nearly two hours.
Total air loss in front set. Single line working in place. Staff on site looking at feasibility of moving passengers into rear set and taking them back to Exeter. They'll want to do that while there's still some daylight. Hitachi fitter (who apparently came from Ilminster - presumably on call at home) and BTP▸ on site.
I think this is first major failure of an Class 80x train in passenger service.

...err. Did you not read my post #943 on the previous page I did. Hence my quickly added first sentence. Not quick enough though.  I had extra info in my post. Here's a bit more. Single Line Working has just started (as of 1904). |

Update at 1915:
"The train is a complete failure and a controlled evacuation is being implemented
There are 389 passengers on the train
The MOM▸ has been relieved and will be appointed RIO▸
The Fire Brigade are being called to assist with ladders and lighting
An XC▸ Voyager is at Exeter and will be used to take the striken passengers back to Exeter
Realistically, this process is going to take some to to action and implement"
Looks like it might be a side by side transfer of passengers with bridges between trains.

Even the rail industry, not known for its excellent customer service when it comes to operator specific tickets, would not go so far as to ching passengers for new tickets on their rescue train. Well, probably not. |

A pair of 802’s sat down in the Savernake area just over a week ago with a total loss of power. That was stranded for around 2 hours

Looks like evacuation to cess then. I guess they didn't want to suspend the single line working. Trains are already queued at Tiverton Loops.

I would hazard a guess that they will stop all train movements whilst the evacuation is taking place. |
