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.

A pity, since his basic premise that it is nuts to transport dead
diesel engines round under the wires (in bi-mode IEP) was sound.

I suspect he miswrote. The distinction he was making was that the
locomotives are separate vehicles, two in the case of HSTs, one on most
other local-powered passenger stock.
