Casualty report states: low main reservoir air pressure, down to 62psi - driver states leading vacuum hose not correctly seated on dummy. Conclusions: 26.02.79 DME KX states: I can trace no driver's repair booking relative to this incident and no further trouble has been reported. I am therefore left wondering whether this was another case of frozen compressor governor in the severe weather conditions appertaining at the time and that it thawed out after the locomotive had been standing for some 20 minutes. Regional Control requested for Haymarket to check loco in view of dubiety of stated fault/remedy, but no further information received. Haymarket TMD. |

Conclusions: 07.03.79 DME KX states: Presumably this was the compressor governor being frozen, the driver was questioned at King's Cross and reported nor further trouble experienced - it was very severe weather conditions at the time, no information to hand regarding methylated spirit dispenser.
