Class 5 is defined in the rule book and always has been as empty coaching stock with no reference to speed. I realise that it no longer requires authority to convey passenger vehicles on freight trains - in fact as I see it if this train, and indeed all other unbraked unit movements, had been...

The first thing I noticed was the reference on p.11 to three braked vehicles on the rear, which does not and never has applied to a class 5 ECS, which needs only have the rear vehicle braked, but should have not more than one in five in operative - I would have thought the report should explain...

I wonder if there is more to the withdrawal of the shuttle than meets the eye - the last time I was at East Midlands Parkway, Elite had a stand in the booking hall, something I had never seen before.

Yes - now listed on Staffordshire website as Hanley to Cheadle and Upper Tean. I did wonder if they might operate throughout to Uttoxeter to feed Midland Classic services - I wouldn't have thought there was an enormous danger of Potteries retaliating by registering over their commercial routes...

D&G have registered a 32 (32X) at short notice but vosa doesn't show end points - possibly replacing the Cheadle shorts and presumably the Alton Towers journeys?
