Class 31 special via M62!

[DescendingSadly]

Coming from Castleford today I saw a BR green class 31 on the back of a lorry, it had various plates hanging loose and looked in a rough condition

the number was D5613

anyone know whats happening to it/how it got damaged/where it was going?

Isn't it the loco that ITV used for the Royal TV special with the train crash? See todays Rail Magazine.
