Casualty report states: AWS defective - AWS isolated.
17,560 miles since last classified repair (04.12.75).
Conclusions: 12.02.76 DME KX states: I am puzzled as to say why a mechanical casualty has been initiated for this incident, particularly as the locomotive worked to King's Cross to complete its diagrammed working. I suggest therefore that the casualty should either be cancelled or if seven minutes delay was incurred before the AWS was isolated then this should be taken up with the driver & the casualty coded as Non-mechanical.

24,190 miles since last classified repair (04.12.75).
Conclusions: 12.02.76 DME KX states: Ill fitting cab doors and cab doors which will not stay closed are a continuous source of trouble on this class of locomotive, but unfortunately due to the good will of drivers they do not usually result in casualties. The problem seems to stem from a combination of the locks, catches and draught proofing. I can only again request special attention to all details at main works overhaul.

Conclusions: 08.09.76 DME KX states: The obvious conclusions from this casualty is that the locomotive had not been properly serviced at King's Cross prior to working this train & this is being taken up with the staff responsible. However in view of this report and the previous casualty on 15th May the boiler water tanks were specially checked during examination at Finsbury Park on 29th May & although the suction strainer joints were renewed no real defects were found. It is noted however that when the locomotive was sent to Doncaster Works for Unclassified Repair on 03.06.76 two leaking water tanks were found.

Conclusions: 17.09.76 DME KX states: Gateshead depot were unable to fault the locomotive, however, it was subsequently checked in traffic by CM&EE representatives & further investigation at Finsbury Park on 30.10.76 revealed considerable quantity of water in ETH jumper cable connection box giving rise to intermittent earth faults. It was noted that there was considerable corrosion inside the junction box which was bad enough to make it necessary to renew the terminal post for the train heat control loop wire connections.

Conclusions: 22.09.76 DME KX states: I have checked the history of this locomotive & this shows the previous attention to the AV" valve on 29.06.76 when it was stripped and cleaned due to a driver's booking of "slow in dropping vacuum". However in view of the fact the brake had apparently functioned correctly since that time I find it difficult to hold the fitter concerned at fault.

Casualty report states: driver requested fitters attention due to rough riding and severe oscillation at 70 mph (no faults found).
Conclusions: 29.09.76 DME KX states: Since this incident the locomotive has been checked in traffic by a Technical Inspector who reported it was somewhat rougher in riding than average and also specially examined at Finsbury Park but no apparent cause found. It appears to be worse at No.2 end and a replacement set of dampers has therefore been obtained for fitting to No.2 bogie at the next examination, or if there are any more bookings of rough riding.

Conclusions 29.11.72 DME KX states: I note that this same locomotive suffered from the same defect at the end of June (see casualty report for 27.06.76). It has not however been possible to ascertain any reason why this particular locomotive has been in trouble, but this tendency has also been noted on other locos of this class. Perhaps this is a matter worthy of further general investigation. Subsequent examination at Finsbury Park on 30.10.76 revealed accumulation of water in No.1 end ETH jumper cable connection box.

Conclusions: 07.01.77 DME KX states: This locomotive had been released from Doncaster Works after Classified Repair only two days earlier. I would suggest that it is likely that the No.1 engine speed valve casing may have been damaged during the cause of this attention.

Casualty report states: Both main generators flashed over - cause of casualty not determined.
Conclusions: 10.01.77 DME KX states: After release from a Classified Repair on 22.11.76 this locomotive suffered several flashovers. At the 'B' examination on 8th December the main generator insulation readings were found to be low. Subsequently the locomotive had to be shopped again on 16th December due to engine aerating and the opportunity was taken to change both main generators.
