Most flask trains have two locos in case of a failure. This particular train doesn't seem to have any specific traction allocated, anything (within reason) can turn up on it.
I much prefer that livery variation than the other DRS livery that just has the letters 'DRS' plastered all over the side in about 5 different locations.
