British Rail Class 365 - Incidents

Incidents

  • 365526 - Trailing DMOC and PTOSL were damaged in the Potters Bar rail crash in 2002. Three coaches are in store at Railcare's Wolverton Works. The DMOC was written off as it was deemed to be beyond economical repair (and was used and eventually destroyed by the MoD for training purposes) whilst the PTOSL, which sustained damage to the drag box and sole bar, was deemed to be repairable if needed. The vehicles were bought from the insurance company, Lloyds, by HSBC Rail (UK) Ltd, the leasing agents of the Class 365s at that time, as a source of spare bodyshells and parts.
  • 365531 - Leading DMOC was damaged in a fatal collision with a tractor at Black Horse Drove crossing in October 2005.
  • 365532 - Leading DMOC was damaged in a collision with a tractor at Hatson's User Worked Crossing in September 2011

Famous quotes containing the word incidents:

    An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
