    Probably needs the extra power to keep to the timings. Yes, a pannier should be OK with 5 coaches, but it could be a bit of a slog up the hill on the return. They may also have needed one at each end either coming out of TYS or shunting at Stratford?

    Possible I guess, I assumed it would water at Stratford like the Shakespeare does.

    Spot on Sidmouth! Not enough H2O in a Pannier to reliably do SOA - TYS - Snow Hill - TYS with 5 vehicles. Never forget, as Colin Jacks once said "On the Great Western, Birmingham is uphill from everywhere"

    Regards
    Bob
