That makes a change from the usual location of 86 BBQs @ Ardeligh 
between Colchester and Manningtree!

How many 86s have been cooked in the last year or so now? About 4? That's 
five Freightliner ACs if you include 90050!

Which rather suggests that 86s are either now showing their age on such 
demanding duties, or that maintenance is deficient. How long before the 
remaining machines are 'blacked' due to the fire risk?

There are some excellent photos of 86620 on www.wnxx.com which, with a 
certain irony, show the flames on the roof around the Inergen fire bottles.
