EMR 156 at Cardiff Central

[TheWalrus]

Just seen a 156 at Cardiff Central, thought I was seeing things but I found this on RTT: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K01242/2020-03-04/detailed

looks like an ECS working from Landore to Etches Park but why?

I'm pretty sure Landore have been doing some modification work to the EMR 156s

They have been going to the Chrysalis Depot at Landore for various items of work. Several have been visiting from Scotland for fitting of new seats following PRM Mods.
