The failure rate seems much lower than it was about 5 years ago. Double
failures are now rare. 40% delay improvement claims seem pessimistic.

It is reported on the District Dave blog that an engineering hours
move of the preserved Cravens unit (back from the EOR) resulted in

Thats interesting. Did it get hauled from Ongar all the way by rail? I
thought some track north of Epping had been lifted to seperate the 2
railways.

Apparently not. The unit was successfully moved to the EOR from
Ruislip depot.

Aside from that I'd imagine it would be in pretty ropey condition
anyway having not been used for 20 years.

I assume it's had some attention. I wonder if the shoes are still
fitted, as it didn't run under its own power?
