The "White Rose" trains that used Eurostar stock from Kings Cross to York and Leeds a few years ago ran as 1X train descriptions, because there was a feature of Peterborough PSB's Train Describer which treated class 9 as Unfitted Freight, and (as I was told) caused the interlocking to hold many signals at red until the Eurostar train had cleared several block sections further along.

I thought that in the case of the White Rose trains, you actually wanted to hold a few signals as Danger, at least if diverted via the Hertford loop, because of what those units drew from the 25kV supply.
