    Same loco into 3 or more different London termini

    A lot of 73s presumably have worked into Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge (the terminal side). Would there have been any passenger workings into Charing Cross, Cannon St and Holborn Viaduct (before it was closed) making a possibility of 6 terminals ?

    Is the All Line Rover being increased?

    Class 801 Numbering - What was the logic?
