I've just seen a newly painted 'one' train at Coventry...a 47 hauling 9 Mk3
carriages, all looking very shiny indeed.  It stopped for about 5 mins, then
carried on south towards Rugby.

I assume these are on their way back from being freshly painted...or was it
round 'ere for another reason?

Yep, ex-Virgin coaches being refurbished at Derby for use on 'one'
Anglia.
