WSMR loco + DVT, sans carriages

[jon0844]

An odd sight tonight (1751) at Finsbury Park as a WSMR loco with DVT came through the up goods line, towards King's Cross, without any carriages! Now that's a very short train I thought to myself!

Any idea what it was up to?

It came towards Finsbury Park and passed it - then went off in the distance! Imagine how odd it would look if you took nine carriages out of an East Coast Mk4 set and that's what it looked like!

(btw, I think I missed the joke!)

I assume it was bringing 82304 back from Doncaster after having that was having a generator installed

:roll:
I was jokingly suggesting that your question was a quiz, and that you really knew the answer!!!
Oh deary me!!

Okay, got it. I thought that was what you meant, but wondered if there was an obvious joke that I was too stupid to get! I did post late and was knackered.

Curious... why would it need a generator? Stock pre-heating or something?

Correct as discussed at the time,yes its for heating the stock when their having maintenance as skips are to lound

I can also confirm that 67014 took a mixed set (3 Silver and 2 Blue and Grey)to Doncaster Wabtec yesterday with 82301 so the return may of been 67014 and 82301
