Clarification:

Are you asking what they are, why they are there or where they have come from/to?

A very simple answer i guess is because of engineering work

Platforms 1 to 4 and the northernmost two lines out to Bethnal Green West Junction were under possession all weekend with London Overground operating a 4tph service to Chingford from platform 6 (Saturday) or 5 (Sunday) and Greater Anglia operating a 4tph service to Cheshunt from platforms 7 and 8.

Thanks for the info. That's the first time I have seen 66s there.

Maybe bear in mind that works trains for a possession might have to be held somewhere else nearby either before or after making a delivery of stuff, or if taking spoil away. So they can often be seen sitting in places for a few hours where nothing much appears to be happening.

I thought they were trialling the new 3rd class stock for commuters wanting to avoid the new Elizabeth Line.
