394L 1701 Crewe to Crewe T.M.D (E)
Saw the above tonight at Crewe just before 5pm but can anyone on here explain a bit more about the train please.
There were quite a few carriages (possibly 8 or 10) being pulled by 'Northern Princess' brown & cream loco. All the carriages were painted really bad dark green and further down the train, some were dark blue. No windows were visible as they looked to be painted over apart from one or two doors which still had visible windows. At least one of the blue carriages had Great Western on in white lettering.
What are all these drab looking carriages for? How old are they?
Why were they going on a roundabout route from Crewe to Crewe T.M.D (according to RTT)?
Thanks in advance.
