title	Railway Hell: A Pantograph Story, Chelmsford, Essex - 17th June 2014
intro	It was all going so well until the pantograph on the loco hauling the 1600 Liverpool Street to Norwich was ripped off by the overhead wires, just outside Chelmsford, leaving the train to roll to a stop - no pantograph meaning no power for the loco or for the 1000V bus that runs the air conditioning. After Greater Anglia faffed around with about twenty different plans that were to be "put in to place", which went from a rescue loco to actually evacuating the train - which would have been totally cool if it had happened - the fabled resuce loco did finally turn up, once it had been de-coupled from another working set. It then proceeded to haul the carriages on towards Norwich, three hours later, whilst the loco with its missing pantograph was left behind. The next day, there's further joy as Liverpool Street station is down to five platforms from sixteen and the train is cancelled at Colchester. Before all of that, there's a Thursday BSCC ride out to Kennninghall Red Lion, The BBs are playing a gig in the confines of the Pennoyer Centre in Pulham St. Mary, and there's a trip to Norwich.
