Plenty. Derby-Newcastle on the 23rd, back again via Doncaster on the 25th. 26th - Derby - Crewe - Euston - back to Crewe. 27th - Crewe - Carlisle - Crewe - Derby. 28th it's doing the MML, Derby to St. Pancras and return. 29th is slated for radio kit calibration at Long Marston but details are sketchy.

how often is it down the Durham Coast line? I've only ever seen it twice!

I literally saw it 10 minutes ago between Crossflatts and Keighley as I was driving along the A650 in the other direction.

Came through Leeds station platform 15b at about 11am. Got have a good look at the insides of it for the first time, looked like they had a conference room in there! Actually I did quite well for seeing unusual things today, I was waiting for a XC service to Derby and had been building myself up to an hour or more in a Voyager until what should appear at the end of platform but a HST. My relief was palpable. Got a Voyager on the way back though

There is a board room type coach on it, used for presentations and other fluffy stuff when visitors are on it. The rest is taken up with equipment and the workstations for the guys on board.

Thanks, I assumed it would probably be for something like that, it was just quite a strange thing to see on a train

The conference suite and office facilities are seldom used, just for special occasions and visitor presentations. It's all very nice to look at, but only two coaches actually do any work on the NMT.
