Today, RTT is showing a frequent 'service' of light loco workings back and forth along the NDL, from Tonbridge West Yard to Shalford and back. Is this driver training?

No idea but if training probably not popular as the BML is two track working through Redhill today - locos crossing at Redhill will be disruptive.

Wonder if it is the Network Rail track trains as the weather is a bit cold today? They are based at Tonbridge

What would the track trains be doing on the NDL west of Reigate, which is non-electrified? There are about six return trips through the day. Edit - it appears that none have run today.
