Certain peak trains are "formed of InterCity stock". Have they

I understand they'll be operated by VT under contract to SS and will
use a West Coast Mk3 set.

Some of these stop at Wolverton and Leighton Buzzard. Is this the
first time that these two stations have had a scheduled loco-hauled
service since steam days?

Also, re another thread, this adds three stations to the list of those
served by slam-door stock.
