Having looked at various sources I belive the train is 8Y85 and is a Conductor Rail treatment train operated by a MPV, I belive it is a MPV as according to the Kent, Sussex and Wessex SA, Conductor Rail treatment trains operated by a MPV use the headcode series of 8Yxx, if it was Top and Tailed loco hauled then the headcode would be in the 3Yxx series.
