    Just a short overview of things that are included... it's for an assignment I'm writing. I think the local procedures include things like 'red bridges', what to do in the event of certain failures, resetting axle counters... is that right?

    New Underground Stock at Derby

    I've just seen some new Underground stock off Platform 6 at Derby. There were two class 20 locos at each end and also a barrier wagon at each end. Why does it need four locos and what is the purpose of the barrier wagons?
