Saw 37611 recently hauling 2 container flats one of which had a Stobart Rail shipping container on the back. There were cables trailing out of the rear cab window of 37611 to the container flats. A few other friends have seen it to. Anyone know what it is doing? Apologies if this has been answered already, couldn't find it after search.

I haven't seen this by my only guess would be that if the Stobart container was something like a refrigerated container, could the cables be for a power supply to that?
My best guess though, sorry!

Some sort of test programme with the wagons, I heard gauging trials but I'm not 100% sure. It's certainly managed to arouse a lot of interest though.
