Blackpool tram on the M42

[BlueDanger]

Traveling up the M42 and I've just passed a Blackpool Railcar on a trailer heading in the Birmingham direction. It had some stickers on it but I couldn'make them out.

Out of interest, does anyone know where it would have been going?
Cheers.

Any clues on the livery beyond 'Some stickers'? Even just broad colour would be helpful, and likewise if it's a Brush railcar (pointy ends) or one of the ex-towing ones (flat fronted). I'll make some enquiries.

May not have been a blackpool tram at all - our Metro CAF Urbos 3 fleet are currently being delivered via that route, but as I'm not at work I can't confirm whether we have had another delivery today?

It was definitely an old tram - a railcar or may have been a Coronation or half of one of the "twin cars". Definitely not a modern CAF tram. Livery was mainly green. Had large stickers on the sides but couldn't catch what they said.

Like this?

One half of Twin set 671+681 - my guess would be towing car 671 which was formerly part of the LTT collection. Will see if I can find out where.

Yes, actually I think the front was more like the Twinset's rather than the slightly more pointed Railcar.

The livery was a darker, more traditional green, though.
