It's not just the "Standard". Christian Wolmar, writing in Friday's
"Times" states that an HST "has a locomotive at one end". Last time I
checked, it was one at each end.

Maybe he was thinking back to the period when the HSTs were being re-
numbered, and some sets would have had something in the 43xxx range at
one end and something in the 254xxx at the other - a locomotive at one
end and a DEMU driving motor brake at the other?
