departmental Sprinter, 950001, in Hither Green sidings

[03_179]

Hi all,

Any one know what this was and why it was in the area yesterday please?

Thanks in advance.

It's a track recording train, much like the HST based New Measurement train, it usually does regional routes that the NMT is too big for.

Do you know a spot where you can get a good view of the sidings? I've cycled around a bit and never found one...
