It looks like the class 799 is back in service again, around Birmingham. Any ideas what they are testing as I though it had been scraped

That's not clag, it's steam. A familiar sight at Kidderminster, but not usually on the Network Rail tracks!"Clag!!"
The man with the coat isn't the driver.
The man with the hi-vis isn't, but the other one (on the right) is faffing with his jacket after starting moving.
I was joking - I’ve been involved with the fuel cell industry on and off for nearly 20 years in various capacities. I am very familiar with fuel cell chemistry, shall we say!That's not clag, it's steam. A familiar sight at Kidderminster, but not usually on the Network Rail tracks!
It does look odd coming out of a 319 though!
Ahh, that clears up the confusionIt was the initial unit (799001) which was scrapped.
Truly in awe of this armchair-ity. Do people have no limit?Doesn't look great for the driver there - faffing about with his coat while starting moving! No great danger but not a fantastic image to portray.
Genuinely baffled by this. A driver taking off his coat whilst departing isn't a great look for a business? Have we hit that level of madness now?Doesn't look great for the driver there - faffing about with his coat while starting moving! No great danger but not a fantastic image to portray.
Seriously? The mind boggles with this place sometimes. There is no rule against taking your jacket off, or indeed putting one on, when in motion.The man with the hi-vis isn't, but the other one (on the right) is faffing with his jacket after starting moving. Not the most dangerous thing in the world but really not a good look when he could have ensured he was ready and comfortable to drive before releasing the brake.
Indeed. Still one of the more unique experiences I’ve had though, travelling in swivel chairs in a mobile boardroom through the Worcestershire countryside.Nice to see it working.
All they need to do is work at getting the kit under the train or in the roof!
Glad to see you’ve had the pleasure. I’ve only had the ’static’ experience.Indeed. Still one of the more unique experiences I’ve had though, travelling in swivel chairs in a mobile boardroom through the Worcestershire countryside.
Whats it like travelling onIndeed. Still one of the more unique experiences I’ve had though, travelling in swivel chairs in a mobile boardroom through the Worcestershire countryside.
Could do with it as a Mobile Training CentreIndeed. Still one of the more unique experiences I’ve had though, travelling in swivel chairs in a mobile boardroom through the Worcestershire countryside.
Never thought I'd see a 319 looking so fresh and modern, I wish northern would use seat fabric like thatIndeed. Still one of the more unique experiences I’ve had though, travelling in swivel chairs in a mobile boardroom through the Worcestershire countryside.
The SVR are converting an 08 to run on hydrogen.That's not clag, it's steam. A familiar sight at Kidderminster, but not usually on the Network Rail tracks!

Unusual to say the least but an enjoyable journey. As a unit it still makes all the sounds of a 319, in the passenger saloon it still feels like a 319 but refurbished to a high standard. In the boardroom, like no other boardroom I’ve been in before. Normally I’d advocate the removal of the opening windows for such a coach but given the heat we had last summer, they were a welcome feature!Whats it like travelling on
From a press release 3 years ago they aim to do thisNice to see it working.
