800032 Ascott-under-Wychwood 8 July 2026

800032 approaches Ascott-under-Wychwood on 8 July 2026 with the 1P20 09:56 Great Malvern to Paddington GWR service. The front nose cone is supposed to close automatically once the unit reaches 15 mph, so there is obviously a fault here. A very common occurrence with the GWR fleet, but much less so with the LNER units.
