This does not however explain why the coolant level was low and no further trouble was experienced to Edinburgh, on its return or to Leeds the next day. The servicing at King's Cross Passenger Loco must therefore be suspect. A later written note states: Balls! Haymarket TMD. 1Exx Edinburgh - King's Cross. |
