Re: BBC NEWS | England | London | Stranded passengers leave trains

However, in the situation that we're discussing we are
talking about needing to move a large number of trains in a localised area
and the likelihood of more than one (or two) of such Thunderbirds being
within one hour of the stricken trains would be highly unlikely.

The news story talked about five trains, so that's four more than when the E* got stuck.
