I imagine GWR 4-4-0s could have made it through to Brighton - they don't have the width restrictions the later outside-cylindered locos did. Here's a bit of inspiration for an inter-regional cross-country service:

A potential problem might have been width over footsteps where the GWR was inclined to be generous.

If there was a potential problem with the GWR outside frame 4-4-0s, it would have been the 8'9.5" over cranks rather than the 8'0.5" over steps. I don't know what the LBSCR/LSWR loading gauge limit was at crank height.


If it was less than 8’9.5” the results could have been unhealthy:
