I seem to recall a few years ago the sleeper's reliability was so poor due to constant breakdowns of the ancient engines that they took to towing an extra one along to act as a mobile source of spares to be cannibalised if necessary , scarcely credible.

It's excellent - How does that compare to others with dedicated stations such as Southampton and Gatwick on the GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) network?
