AFAIK it would have been speed restrictions on the south that either, would
have caused the train to loose time or made it impossible to regain lost
time elsewhere. Also they are suffering a lot of engine problems and have to
restart engines on some runs a couple of times, but sometimes the engines
are not able to be started and run one car down.(hence the nick name
Xploder).
