Presume a staff outing, perhaps? Anyone know what the stock is?

Thanks for any info.

For the Community Rail Festival so I heard on WNXX forum. Might have staff I reckon, I wondered if it was empties but it's not an ECS headcode.

Apparently to be a 158, but then it's not a 158 depot, depends if there is one there I guess, otherwise a 143 where do I book if it's a pacer?!

It'll be a 158, will come down ECS from SPM I expect. That's what happened when FGW ran a 158 Exeter-Sheffield for the last ACORP event.

Theres an ECS from the TMD too, I expect it'll run to depot when required, then come out in that path.
