360120 Pantograph Strike At Manningtree 28/05/18

[@Gideonsmythe]

Yes, considering the damage to 409 in the carriage and that it's due for retirement in 15 months, I have no doubt 121 will be back out and running soon. It'll go to Clacton for repairs as that's where the 360s are based.

Mike Freeman yeh it will hopefully it will return but for now it’s the end of the line at the moment

[@Andrewjg_89]

Was there like a spark or a arc when the pantograph hit something which caused the train to stop and delaying services. Usually when that happens there is a sign of smoke.

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Great video. They can replace the pantograph.

[@035Productions]

Hopefully they will

[@user-do2rj4sf8j]

I think the bracknell willis high speed pantograph they used on the 321s should be fitted on every train in the uk that used overhead

[@jasongoulden2938]

Nice units them 360s they seem like a direct replacement for 321s with the large windscreens they have

[@swagmaster4209]

[@ediunicko]

why an EMU and not a rescue locomotive?

[@Trainspotter11_]

Nice One Mate! That Must Have been Very Bad that Strike :)

[@035Productions]

Yeah indeed it was there was major delays and it took over 7 hours to move 360121 from the scene since my last encounter with 321409 after the pantograph strike that’s been stored after that issue so I think 360121 May be stored as well now

Uk Mainline My Word 7 Hours Since it was Stranded There :)

[@Desiro360]

Great captures of this event dude, well done. I wonder how long it will take to repair 360 120. :)

[@035Productions]

Desiro360 thanks this may take a while hopefully it will not be to long

[@Desiro360]

Lets hope so. I last saw 360 120 at Colchester station back in April.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I believe the pantograph might have snapped against the overhead wires mate

[@035Productions]

Yes it did it snapped and brought the wires down with it

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

goodness me last year in November at Crewe the class 350 desiro unit which was on its way to Liverpool lime street had the same problem after it left Crewe the pantograph on the unit went bang and the camera can see sparks firing off from the top of the unit in

[@GreaterAngliaFanClass321]

How the 360 had the panto strike

[@035Productions]

GreaterAngliaFan Class321 no idea mate it was just going along and it snapped and brought the wires down with it

[@harveyquinn5494]

What exactly is a pantograph strike?

[@thegreateasterntrainspotte8760]

Great captures mate! Why did it take so long to rescue the damaged 360 and why did it use the down?

[@035Productions]

Hi mate It brought the overheads down which took some time to put back plus the line between Ipswich and manningtree was switched off while it was being inspected then they turned it on and got the Ex Hawick town 360121 to come to rescue it which also took another 70 minutes because they opened the line and let some trains go before it finally got let out at around 1030 and it had to pass platform 3 at manningtree because the pints are after the bridge so that’s why it passed platform 3

[@dylansworld8904]

How'd it happen

[@generalgrievous5615]

Why is it rare if it passed platform 3? Its on the mainline so wouldn't be rare

[@NSE465]

That intro is long blimey

[@Trainspotter11_]

Bye The way Mate. Please Check out my New Videos :)

[@035Productions]

Yeah will do mate

[@Trainspotter11_]

Uk Mainline Cheers Mate! I hope you enjoy them :)
