Hi there, does anyone have the numbers of the Mk3 coaches used on Colas Rail's New Measurement Train set(s?). Many thanks!

Thanks very much! So do the powercars (to my knowledge there is some ex-LNER Colas-branded ones and some NR Yellow ones) just swap over but with the same vehicles?

There are two ex-LNER Network Rail-leased power cars (43290/299) which are the current primary traction for the NMT while the yellow trio (43013/014/062) are receiving ETCS cab signalling mods. Colas Rail operate the train, and occasionally one of the five ex-LNER power cars they lease (43251/257/272/274, plus 277 which hasn’t yet worked for Colas) will cover for one of the Network Rail pair. The primary work for the Colas power cars is not the NMT, but to supplement/replace class 37s on the four PLPR (Plain Line Pattern Recognition) trains.
