All Grey 802-206 York Station

[Hipsterspotter]

Spotted this at York pull in to platform 10 at about 0030 (Causing a platform change on my return trip York-Darlington)

It had no livery and had stickers on the tables in the carriages still to be applied, as well as some sharpie on bits of masking tape on doors and things)

When I was looking across at it from my new platform (9) I thought best to take a few pictures and share here

Does anyone know what I might have seen?

Googling the number on the side suggests it's a train intended for TPE, presumablly out on test.

I would guess that the grey is the base coat and that TPE livery vinyls will be applied before it enters service.

You've seen and photographed 802 206 - as delivered not yet in TPE livery

The bits of masking tape with black numbers on are identifying "snags" that have been spotted but not rectified yet by Hitachi, before the unit is offered for Provisional Acceptance by the owner and operator.

Can anyone confirm if this the grey unit currently at Heaton or is that another One awaiting vinyls?

Thanks
