Habrough '10 CAR STOP'

[_toommm_]

While departing Habrough station today, I noticed there was the expected '3 CAR' and '6 CAR' for the 185s, but beyond the platform, there was 8, 9 and 10 CAR stop boards. What services would have these been used for, and when was the last time they were used in service?
