I may be wrong, but I think it was used by WSMR on cover- it is fitted with the remote fire extinguishing system they have to have to work with the DVT, as it also works the "Company Train" as I recall.

Yep, it has the fire extinguisher modification in it (like the Wrexham branded 67s do too) so it can be driven from the DVT without need for a competent person to stay inside the loco while the train is in service.

It had been at Wembley all of last week. I wondered if they were going to attach it to a passenger service any time soon, as the locos are rotated between diagrams fairly often.

67018 Was used quite often in WSMR days and as stated above is running the Chiltern BAN-MYB (am) & MYB-BAN 1806 today.

WSMR also used 67029 on a number of occasions - which of course almost matched their livery

Hmmm, they're adding wi-fi as they go through an exam, so keep your eye open as it'll start appearing very soon....spot the first to be done!
Errr...At least one of the W&S sets has/had Wi-Fi installed IIRC, though it may be the case that it's been switched off/removed since the closure.

Cheers,

Barry

I'm referring to the Clubmsns - all WSMR ex-stock already has wifi. Not sure about the IC loco/coach set on BAN/MYB turns though
