I passed Haymarket Depot on Thursday morning and spotted a 47 and two coaches. The coaches were painted in BR Rail Blue, if not a paler colour, and had the windows plated over. They looked like mk 1s, but could have been something else. I'm wondering if it ties in with this movement?

Seeing a 47 in Haymarket depot is quite rare. I'm used to the ever changing of 'Classic' and Scotrail liveried HST coaches and power cars, but locos are a real rarity these days.
I've seen these referred to as 'barrier coaches' online, used as a sort of coupling adapter. Why would two be required, and what sort of stock was the 47 required to shift?
