At New Street and seen XC Voyagers and 170s.

Can they work in multiple or do they have different couplings?

They can't work in multiple; the 170s have BSI couplers, while the Voyagers have Scharfenberg (i.e. Dellner) couplers. Even if 171s were used instead, their software would be incompatible.

Though if you believe TRUST, 1M94 yesterday was booked to be worked by 220011+170521+170114 :lol:

Wouldn't be a problem coupling them, about 20mph would do it.
Whether they would be capable of moving afterward is another question entirely! ;)
