A Thames News item from 1990 when the Vic Line trains suffered wheelset problems leading to service suspensions and mass cancellations. Features 67 stock, experimental livery on one train and a very fresh faced John Self (then Line GM). Note that the rush chaos shots show fewer people than today's off peak!

	Severe Delays are occurring to my thought patterns due to overworking and long hours!
