I’m looking for an English equivalent of a Polish special-purpose rail vehicle but so far have been unable to find any (the English terms I’ve found don’t seem to ring a bell when double-checked on English websites). Generally, the vehicle is used for transporting workers, tools and equipment to do various type of works (e.g. track maintenance). To me the vehicle looks like a railway kind of pick-up truck (hence the title of this thread). These vehicles cannot be coupled to a train set; they can be flat bedded and/or equipped with various functionalities (e.g. a crane).
A literal English translation of the original name: motor trolley. Is there anything similar used by railwaymen in the UK? If not, what would you call it?
Input appreciated.
