Class 195 on the Leeds NW lines

[Halish Railway]

I've noticed this movement for tonight on Realtime trains. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:N87726/2023-10-22/detailed#allox_id=4

It's 195101 doing a tour of the Leeds North West / Shipley triangle lines, which I'd assume is being used as a test prior to the introduction of three carriage 331s. Would I be right in guessing that this is the first time a 195 has been to Skipton and Ilkley? I remember a few months ago a 195 made it onto a Leeds to Bradford Forster Square service on a strike day so they've made it there before.

At one point it was a 6 car 195 on test. It might well still be a 6 car as real time isn't always 100 percent. It's testing out train to platform interface for ASDO
