Sound familiar? The train has been out and about for a few weeks, so that it breaks down on the maiden voyage seems strange.

different loco? they had a blue painted one for the tests, but i think they ended up using a fleet standard one (well, i saw a fleet standard one in pic the other day pulling it out of the station)

The article clearly says the issue was with the doors on the coaches.

As I understand it the rolling stock is Belmond's own responsibility - IE are only responsible for the loco.
