What do you use to move a failed D78 on the Richmond branch or a l65

Somebody probably goes and finds a barrier coach. The DC lines once had
them to allow standard stock to mate with Oerlikons, to allow the
latter to push the former out of the way. I haven't a clue what they
use nowadays.


Probably nothing as methods of dealing with failed trains have developed.
It's extremely rare that an EMU can't be got moving under it's own power
albeit on reduced power.
