Unusual working/path booked in on Real time trains

[Trainfan344]

Just looking through the times of trains at Weybridge railway station on Sunday and found this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H14589/2013/04/21/advanced

Anymore info on what it is, it runs from Eastleigh Alstom to Eastleigh Alstom.

We've had a lot of NR test trains top and tailed by a pair of 73s down that neck of the woods recently so it could be something to do with that.

Based upon the gaps between the stops and the length of the stops, Id guess it is an ultrasonic test train.

 

[Trainfan344]

Will try to get across to the station for it

You might be waiting a while, they tend to run in 8 or more week cycles.

I don't know if this is related to tomorrow's working but NR's Class 950 DMU (unit derived from the Class 150) is currently stabled in the down freight loop just outside Staines. Just saw it on my way up to Waterloo this morning.

Well, I waited as long as I could, but it didn't show up, but during my 3 seperate visits to Weybridge station, I saw lots of trains, despite the engineering work and the fact it's a Sunday!
