Description
In November 2000, brake failure resulted with Postal from Bristol Parkway to Temple Meads running into rear of coal train, which carries on towards BTM .So 67002 rides up onto rear wagons, then rides along until it hits the road bridge, with subsequent brake in coal train consist. Driver not seriously injured, only a broken arm; very lucky !!
Thanks to friends in Bristol for the tip off, giving me time to drive from Cardiff before closure of the site. Look out for extended version soon
