If the train suffered a final drive gearbox failure, it would have effectively two seized axles, one you can deal with two you can't. You can't tow in that condition

If the train was in the citybound platform its exceptionally difficult to get trains around it

The failed train was subsequently dumped in the 3rd platform in Dun Loaghair
