Not to mention driving the Land Rover as well, *and* he was in control of
the locomotive that was shunting the factory yard adjacent to where the
train collision took place.

Seriously, this discussion of the Mark IV and earlier coaching stock in the
UK has led me to wondering about the stock used in the XPT (which is
basically the same type of train as the GNER HST125 that was involved in the
crash). Are the XPT coaches equivalent to the Mark 1 or Mark IV coaches?
