Default Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear
"Roger T." wrote
It's typical in North America to "power brake". In power
braking, the
throttle is left in notch two or three, the independent brake
in full
release while the train is brought to a stand with the train
brake working
against the throttle. Is this not possible in the UK?

Not with the stuff I drive. Why would you do that?
