I didn't think 222s were permitted on this route - being too heavy for it because Matlock lost its London services when Class 170s stopped running to / from St Pancras.

There was a weak bridge which was repaired some time ago.

Class 222 can go down but it's most unusual compared to say sending one to Crewe instead, primarily because of the Matlocks working through to Newark making crewing complicated.
