Anyone know of any unusal test trains out today
I am in Leeds working but just spoke to my 10 yr old ( a keen spotter!!) who watched a silver painted light locomotive go through Oakham on the Leics Pborough line today Wed 14th April. He couldnt identify it and said it was a bit like a class 31 but boxed in more and had what looked like pantographs (down) on the roof
Didnt have any visble numbering or ID and after passing over the remote monitored CCTV LC on Brooke road, cause the barriers to stay down for over an hour till a sprinter came through and they were released. I gather a lot of drivers phoned NWR Derby to complain,
one of those things I know
Anyway, I am unaware of any diesel electrics with OLE let alone silver so anyone know what it was. The mother inlaw was with him at the time and backed it up.
