70 Ton limit - So quite literally 2 coaches, because even with our lightest two we couldn’t have stuck a Brakevan on as we normally would. Limit of where it was allowed to roam as well, so really Bridgnorth-Hampton was the only feasible thing...

Possibly another reason to run with two was the need to put the set in the siding at Hampton Loade. I'm not sure there would be room to get a third coach in without fouling the running line.
