Sitting at home this lunchtime gazing out over a rainswept Shadwell
I've
noted a very odd train on what must be the C2C lines to/from
Fenchurch
Street.


It appears to be roughly (I've only caught the back end of it) 5 all
yellow
coaches topped and tailed with a diesel loco. *The coaches are of at
least 2
different types, with what might be a couple of MkIIIs with everything
else
older.


Any ideas what it might be?


Network Rail measurement train used for structure gauging?

Close - following Boltars reply I did a bit of a google search and
came up with this:

Which is much closer (even if that is just the fact that the locos
weren't yellow here!)

Thanks both.
