Class 50 Vandalised During Charter Train

Class 50 Vandalised During Charter Train

Earlier Today, 50050 & 40013 (D213) were operating a charter train in Devon & Bristol, operated by Locomotive Services, and during the tour two individuals (who will remain unnamed) threw a brick at the 50050 while at speed, the damage while somewhat hard to see in the attached image can be made out to a few minor dents and paint scratches, narrowly missing the driver & secondman's window. It is currently believed that the British Transport Police and LSL are working to identify the culprits and take action.
