April's edition of 'The Railway Magazine' carries a short item about a proposal to use pairs of class 91s to 'top and tail' formations of seven mark 4 coaches on the ECML. With both locos powering (which is the plan), this would give a staggering 12,960hp for a seven car train! This surely must be the highest power rating for a train of this length ever to run in normal service in the UK (if it materialises)?
