There appears to be a test train running around the Anglia region today does anyone know what is being tested.
They ran or are running to the following STP schedule

I would suggest it is a NR Cl.153 unit doing track recording. Going back through the workings since the start of the week, it appears to have started out from Ferme Park on Monday morning (10/06/24) & has been touring around WAGN, LTS & East Anglia territory since then.
When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

It is indeed a NR Class 153, 153376 doing track surveying.
