Odd train on Shadwell viaduct
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? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphot...314557&nseq=10 http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlar...2.php?id=27166 |

Thanks both. |
