The most sensible suggestion seems to be -
Do away with M/S as a category and have M2 or MM categories only..
when the rules were formulted for the VK SHIRES contest M2 was the only
multi operator category due to the anomalies caused by M/S.
Perhaps the category (M/S) has been over taken by technology..
