Driver asks passengers for sellotape to fix train

A train driver asked passengers for sellotape so he could carry out repairs to the train they were travelling in.

The Midland Mainline train from London St Pancras to Nottingham broke down south of Leicester reports BBC online.

The driver asked passengers for sellotape when an exterior air pipe came loose and he tried to fix it.

A MML spokeswoman said: "The driver made an attempt to refit the pipe so he could get the train moved, but he was unable to do that. He had been liaising with our control department and we had a fitter on the way to the train.

"To make it to the next station he thought it might be a good idea to see if any passengers had anything which could seal the pipe."

No passengers were carrying any tape and a fitter had to go to the site to carry out work.

The spokeswoman added that the work on the engine was not "safety critical".

The train finally terminated its journey in Leicester.
