Actually, the problem appeared to be more the lack of an engine, but it meant the Globalise Resistance charter train of socialists, anarchists, ecologists and other activists was delayed by more than 40 minutes heading out of Euston this morning, on its way to the G8 summit at Gleneagles.
Considering this specially booked train was already scheduled to take nearly nine hours to complete the 400-mile trip (going up the west coast main line before heading across to Edinburgh), this was a considerable setback – probably meaning every connection will be missed and 300 very tired and grumpy demonstrators will finally reach the Scottish capital some point late tonight.
