It's a test train path (1Q49).

Like most such schedules, I'm pretty sure that it has never actually run.

I am just wondering if this is not a NMT (Network Measurement Train), as a Q headcode means that the train must run on the lines specified in the schedule, and any variation must be authorised by Route Control. I will have a look when I am back at work.

There are various test trains, but only one "NMT".
The train mentioned by the OP is not part of the NMT rota, so therefore should just be a loco hauled test train that runs as required.
Thanks, Sam
