January
| 1 - | 1S32 12:00 King's Cross - Aberdeen,
to Edinburgh (8 minute delay King's Cross). Casualty report states: unable to obtain power - AWS change end switch handle in wrong position. Driver Coultish (York) reports: On taking charge of loco 9020, which was already attached to the train, the King's Cross relief driver informed me that the loco was all in order, but the brake test wanted carrying out. After completion of the brake test and on getting the signal to start I opened the controller but no amps were available. I quickly saw that the AWS change end switch was in the down position, but on cancelling the horn the brake did not release. I therefore proceeded to the opposite cab and found that the AWS change end switch had been left in the up position, presumably by the King's Cross driver. After putting the switch in down position and returning to my driving cab everything was in order. The total time for this operation only took two to three minutes, but the signal had by that time returned to red, in order to let another train into the station, so I had to wait another five minutes or so before the signal cleared.

| 10 - | Finsbury Park TMD. 'B' exam. Locomotive proposed for shopping.

| 11 - | Finsbury Park
TMD. Casualty report dated 11.01.72 states loco off 'B' exam. 1S16 08:00 King's Cross - Edinburgh, to Doncaster (11 minute delay Doncaster - 1505 forward). Casualty report states: ETH tripping out. Driver E Clarke (Doncaster) reports: Whilst working 1S16 9020, air braked & ETH stock, ETH working correctly from King's Cross to Corby the ETH failed cutting off power to the locomotive. ETH restarted but same thing happened so wired for fresh loco from Grantham. Conclusions: 28.01.72 DME X states: I can only assume that there was a fault on the coaching stock (Mark IID) causing the power earth fault relay to pick up. This casualty should therefore be cancelled. Doncaster TMD. Repairs - loco could not be faulted. |

Casualty report states: earth fault - No.1 & No.2 main generators flashed over. Conclusions: 09.02.72 DME KX states: It will be noted that this locomotive had been in traffic over nine months since its previous Classified Repair. I understand that the CM&EE is still carrying out investigations into flashovers on these locomotives. It is hoped that the modifications now being carried out to traction motors will help to overcome what has been a serious problem. Gateshead TMD. Repairs - flashover burns cleaned up & 5 arc horns renewed. |

| s23 - | 1H08 16:45 King's Cross - Hull,
(to Doncaster) (21 minute delay Grantham). Casualty report states: Driver states engine output hunting and then unable to regain power until the load regulator moved by hand (suspect load regulator sticking). Conclusions: 09.02.72 DME KX states: I am unable to add anything to the faults above - the locomotive entered works for an Intermediate Repair so it is doubtful whether any cause was established. |
| 24 - | To Doncaster Works - Intermediate repair. Shopping proposal dated 26.01.72 from Finsbury Park states: 122,000 miles since last classified repair (10.04.71). Attention required to all brake gear: flanging occurring on several wheels - power units No.1 428 replaced by 421 & No.2 446 replaced by 455, bogies No.1 9000-3 replaced by 9000-25 & No.2 9000-4 replaced by 9000-26 and boiler 5090/J3241 replaced by 5098/J3249.

| 2 - | King's Cross
Loco. 'LD 125' exam. 1S72 22:30 King's Cross - Edinburgh, to Doncaster (6 minute delay Doncaster - 1105 forward 03/03). Casualty report states: Driver reported the following defects: (i) Vigilance device horn stopped working (ii) Brakes applied until DSD isolated (iii) AWS bell not ringing (iv) Boiler water pump stopped (v) All lights very dim Reported at Grantham, but subsequently righted themselves. 3,910 miles since last classified repair (23.02.72). Conclusions: 11.04.72 DME KX states: This locomotive was subsequently checked in service by the CM&EE's representative Mr Edwards but could not be faulted. The trouble as experienced would suggest defects in the auxiliary generator output/battery charging circuits. In this connection I would draw your attention to subsequent casualty to this locomotive on 21st March when No.1 auxiliary generator drive was found to be defective, although any connection between the two incidents is doubtful. |
| 3 - | Doncaster TMD. Condition of locomotive following Classified Repair report states: DSD, AWS & boiler defects - loco could not be faulted. 1A27 13:15 Newcastle - King’s Cross, from Doncaster. Locomotive accompanied in traffic by CM&EE's representative Mr Edwards. |

| 8 - | Finsbury Park TMD. Shopping proposal dated 10.03.72 states loco off 'B' exam. Condition of locomotive following Classified Repair report states: No.1 engine cutting out under power - coolant siphoning into No.2 engine then into expansion tank (see 10/03 shopping proposal). 1S16 08:00 King's Cross - Edinburgh, to Welwyn GC (25 min delay Hatfield & 25 mins at Welwyn GC - 9002 forward). Casualty report states: Loss of power with both engines running - No.1 engine underspeed switch incorrectly wired, loop wire 8 not fitted & wires 22 & E8 connected diagonally across two pairs of contacts, also loop wire E7 broken at crimped connection (locomotive subsequently hauled train to Welwyn Garden City on No.2 engine only). Driver L Booth (King's Cross) reports: Engine low speed, driver operated through broken wire, regain power on one engine after having shut down defective engine, ready to proceed in 5 minutes, however excessive time taken to regain staff back onto train and loco change at Welwyn, incidentally had not requested fresh loco until Hitchin or Peterborough, whichever place was suitable for Control. 5,540 miles since last classified repair (23.02.72). Conclusions: DME KX states: This locomotive had been released from Doncaster Works Classified Repair on 23rd February, where presumably the incorrect wiring had been made. I enclose to the CM&EE the broken loop wire, no doubt he will take up with BREL. 0B02 Welwyn Garden City - Finsbury Park. Finsbury Park TMD. Repairs - No.1 engine underspeed switch loop wires refitted & switch correctly wired. 1N10 11:00 King's Cross - Newcastle (noted Grantham). |

Classified Repair report states: exhauster not speeding up from No.2 end - button switch required adjusting. |

| 17 - | Condition of locomotive following
Classified Repair report states: wheelslip several times en-route, unable to fault loco - loco under observation. Haymarket TMD. 'A' exam. 1E42 19:10 Aberdeen - King's Cross, from Edinburgh. |

| s19 - | |
| 20 - | 1S16 08:00 King's Cross - Edinburgh,
to Newcastle (8 minute delay Darlington - 9011 forward). Casualty report states: DSD vigilance & ETH defective. 10,420 miles since last classified repair (23.02.72). Conclusions: 11.04.72 DME KX states: In view of the fact that the locomotive could not be faulted I can only assume that there must have been a degree of mismanagement, possibly due to the unfamiliarity with the vigilance system and that the ETH defect must have been in the coaching stock. Gateshead TMD. Repairs - the vigilance horn was tested from each end and the horn operated every 70-75 seconds & was cancelled satisfactorily, the ETH was also tested satisfactorily from each end, loco could not be faulted. |
| 21 - | Gateshead TMD. 1A15 09:05 Newcastle - King's Cross, "The Tees-Tyne Pullman" to York (5 minute delay York - 1111 forward). Casualty report states: unusual noise from No.1 engine & battery showing permanent 25 amp discharge - No.1 auxiliary generator drive coupling bolt broken in two and catching protective casing & battery charge contactor tips splashed at one side thus not allowing contactor tips to close fully. 11,010 miles since last classified repair (32.02.72). Conclusions 09.05.72 DME KX states: Since the frequency of the examination of battery charge contactors was increased to 'C' examinations there has been very little trouble experienced. I do not therefore consider that any further action is necessary regarding this item. I am unable to comment further regarding the broken auxiliary drive belt, as I have no information other than shown above. The locomotive had however received a classified repair only a month earlier. York TMD. Repairs - drive shaft coupling bolt renewed & battery charge contactor tips renewed. |
