On the night of 2nd September 2004, 47811 hauling the down sleeper failed near Didcot and the 'spare' loco at OOC was used to rescue it, hence there was no 57 to haul the ECS from the UP sleeper from Padd to OOC. 43151 (leading) and 43132 back-to-back were used instead. The train consist included 2xMRVs and 57604 trailing.
