The unique Network Rail 950001 departing Crewe Station yesterday.
This was purpose-built in 1987 by British Rail Engineering Limited's Holgate Road carriage works for the British Rail Research Division for use as a track assessment unit. Only one was ever built and looks very similar to the Class 150/1 Sprinters due to the same bodyshell being used. Originally numbered in the Class 180 series, the unit is now in the departmental Class 950 series.
