Probably dragged in the Pullmans which is running to Bristol today
'Hauled' the Pullmans. Not directed at anyone in particular, but where did the expression 'dragging' stock come from? It strongly implies a sliding movement (and done against the will!) rather than rolling wheels, and also suggests that, say, an ECS movement is harder to move than a passenger one. Why do people not simply say 'hauled', 'pulled', 'moved', etc?
