Speaking of 5-car formations, I've noticed some nice new "5 car stop" signs
appearing near some of the platform monitors on these routes (surely they
could just use the "6 car stop" positions anyway?

A driver of a 5-car train must stop at the "S" sign if there isn't a
specific "5". Just the same as the driver of an 8 car train can't stop
at the "4" sign if there isn't an "8". Some TOC managements will treat a
failure to do so as a SPAD.

If the right stopping place is the same a 6 car trains, then the 5 and 6
signs should be in the same place. If they aren't, there is a reason.
