    I am driving a timetabled non-stop from Carlisle to Preston
    After coasting through the neutral section just south of ohenholme ( Zero Power, No braking) I have a fault light on the dashboard.

    When I try to apply power, I hear a clicking sound and the power cuts out.
    In the engine compartment, there are red lights on power circuit 1 and 3

    I have tripped the circuit breakers for 1 and 3 :

    Now I am able to get the train started, but with limited power using only motors 2 and 4

    So I have two questions

    Is this supposed to happen?

    How do I properly resolve the problem and get all 4 traction motors working?

    I tried that a number of times and also reset the physics, but neither of these fixes the problem.

    I was able to complete the journey at reduced speed.
