Some GWR 800s withdrawn due to hairline cracks


Recommended Posts

I searched through multiple times in multiple ways and don't see this on rmweb anywhere... but that also surprises me so I may have missed it?

 

BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-56902528

 

All quotes below from article:

"Six trains, part of a new high-speed fleet, have been taken out of service after hairline cracks were discovered.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said the cracks were found during routine maintenance of two of its Hitachi 800 trains."

"GWR said the hairline cracks were "in areas where the suspension system attaches to the vehicle body on two trains".
