Sorry but that's the "internal" term I keep hearing. Officially it may
well be 2009 stock but I've never heard that term until now.

I beleive 2009 stock is the term used in the weekly TC and/or EWSA -
especially the latter as the test trains appear as Engineers Trains. I
don't recall reading V stock anywhere - but I'm zero to do with BCV or
SSL.

Well I'm not involved in the BCV or SSL contracts either. I don't have
need to read the TC or EWSA so haven't seen the reference there but, of
course, a year based code is in line with all previous practice.
