Funny isnt it,i mebtioned about the points at Wakefield Westgate,leaving platform 2 to Leeds being very poor because of wheelslip and today one of our 91s had a major problem with these points,so much so that the vbration monitoring system for the traction motors activated because the wheelslip was so bad,causing the train to stop twice,cause disruption behind it,and eventually the set being taken out of service.That will have cost a lot of money all round,the sooner the work is done the better.
