Sense（1）

(by analogy) A mistreated and impoverished girl.

Sense（2）

(attributive) Something rising unexpectedly from obscurity to success, as a Cinderella team.

Sense（3）

(attributive) Something neglected and denied resources, as a Cinderella service.

A very early example of this can be seen in the case of the Midland Main Line (MML). At the start of 1982, this was the Cinderella of the InterCity portfolio but building more High Speed Trains (HSTs) to replace 90mph trainsets was out of the question. During 1982-83, Bleasdale shuffled his HST pack by taking sets from the Eastern and Western Regions and allocated these to the MML.
