Looking at the May - September 2001 WTT for Leamington Spa, I see an occasional Wednesday Only 1M26 service from Paddington to Coventry stopping between 0737 and 0752.
Not that odd. But 90 minutes later, back comes the 1V05 Coventry to ... Old Oak Common, passing without stopping? Both are timed as 95-47245.
How do they run a passenger train to Old Oak Common on a 1xxx head code? If it was an Empty Coaching Stock move wouldn't it be 5V05?

I also see a 5O07 Washwood Heath Metropolitan Cammell - North Pole International Depot, timed as 60-47450.
What were they likely to have been dragging? London Underground stock? Refurbished Eurostar 373s?

My best guess is they were 373s that had been back to the factory to get their GNER White Rose vinyl wraps.
