I saw a single car new liveried TfW 153 heading towards Chester at lunchtime today.

I couldn't find it at first on RTT but then found it after a bit of looking. It seems it started at Llandudno Junction went to Bangor did a quick turn around and headed to Chester.
Anyone know why? Driver training? If so why only as far as Bangor and not as far as Holyhead?
I know TfW are short of units but surely not planning using single car 153 s up amd down the coast? That would be shocking. They are fine for the winter on the Conwy valley but the coast is too busy to be using them on Birmingham or Cardiff routes surely.
