NR Test Train at Cricklewood Depot (31st Oct)

[asylumxl]

Around 1230 today I passed Cricklewood and saw a NR test train at Cricklewood, but as I was passing at speed I was unable to see what it was formed of.

Does anyone know which locos/carriages it was formed of? I think I saw a 31 and a DRS 37 but I'm not too sure.

Any help will be appreciated .

Cheers in advance.

P.s. I don't know what Cricklewood is officially so apologies to all the pedants of our fair forum.

I believe RJ saw your mystery train at Leicester.

This was out and about yesterday as well, think it was checking the overheads as there was a pantograph raised on the mk1 coach. It was pulling out the goods roads onto the u/s as I passed.

Looks like it might be!

Guessing it stopped for refuelling at Cricklewood?

Maybe a pathing stop, never seen NR fuelling there only FL and EMT.

Ah yes, Test Car 3 'Mentor' as it was once known, I thought it looked familiar. I guess the Mk2s must just be brake force runners or similar.
