This fits the pattern of previous weeks with a ‘pass out’ turn for staff who have been on the Crewe-Wavertree turns earlier in the week.
There doesn’t seem to be a 5M68 back, as yet, so I wonder if the set will be working the moves between York and Scarborough that are planned for Sunday:

(Though equally they might be for the 802 unit that’s at York Siemens?)
Is there anything stopping the set working back from Scarborough on a passenger working? I know it’s unlikely until after a press launch.
Something that seems a little odd is that guard instructors don’t work a ‘live’ train with passengers prior to having to train colleagues. I’ve no railway experience, but I’d guess working a train with passengers is quite different from doing an ecs move.
