Class 465 on WCML

[Crossover]

Hi All

I saw what I think was a Southeastern Class 465 (looked like that shape at least) travelling south on the WCML been hauled by a Class 66 at the front and translator vehicles at either end

It was on the outskirts of Wolverton station where the line dips down, stopped, with a shunter just ahead of it almost in the dip.

Does anyone know what it was doing there and why it was being hauled on the WCML?
Just looked at the video of the 380 from the other thread and I am pretty sure it wasn't that one.

Also, on an aside, anyone have any idea why the line dips down at this point? It doesn't appear to actually achieve anything...

I'm not 100% sure, but it couldve been 465036 coming back on 6A05.

There was 5X44 working Doncaster to Wembley Yard booked to pass Hertford at 2255 but has yet to run!
Any idea what it was supposed to be? I thought it might be the SouthEastern 465s going back home?

At about 7:45 yesterday morning I saw the unit at Wembley yard sandwiched between a rake of vans.

That is the entrance line to Railcare Wolverton works.
