8 Carriage Class 333 on 5D74 2023 Ilkley to Skipton Broughton Rd C.S?

[Halish Railway]

I've just gone past 5D74 2023 Ilkley to Skipton Broughton Rd C.S. at Guiseley and it's an 8 carriage Class 333. Is this normal?

Sounds like it's and ECS to Skipton Carriage Sidings.
So its definitely not a freight train.
Given that it starts from Ilkley then the only other stock would be a 322/321

I think this comes up every few months, from RTT that service looks to be formed of the unit from the 1749 Bradford Forster Square to Ilkley & 1946 Bradford Forster Square to Ilkley services.

IIRC only one unit is powered the rear is 'dead in tow'

This appeared on an earlier thread. 333's have never had the paperwork done for approval to work on multiple so this working back to depot has the front set dragging the shut down rear set.
The other day one set was a 321 which caused some difficulty with a second driver having to be found.
