Under the 1937 LMS classification, a Class 2 service embraced several types of workings including: ordinary passenger train, or break-down van train not going to clear the line. Branch passenger train (where authorised). Rail motor or motor train with engine leading (When running with driving compartment leading rail motors or motor trains will carry the headlamp on the same bracket as used for the tail lamp).
