A Matter of Judgement
390008 overtook 325008 and 325007 north of Rugeley on the afternoon of 19 March 2022. The mail units were working 1S80, the 14:38 from Willesden PRDC to Shieldmuir, and had already slowed to allow 1S78 to overtake as it would have had priority at Colwich Junction. If the mail train driver had judged it right, his signal would clear before he came to a stop.
