Am I right in thinking that 1992 stock has smaller wheels than other

It does seem strange that a heavy train could become derailed by
something light enough to have become dislodged by vibration or air
movements and apparently flap around in the wind.

If this light flappy thing made its way onto the line, it's possible other
things did too. For instance, if there had been a pile of crowbars wrapped
in a tea-towel (or something more plausible to that effect), and that had
fallen onto the track.

how does the underground get stock like this out of the way, I don't
think they have any shunters, do they have to bring a battery loco in
?
