Description
So there's a Class 153 running around the network that's bright blue in colour but appears to be a Network Rail train! "What IS that?" I thought one day, and I subsequently had a day out on it in Norfolk to find out exactly what it does ...

My thanks to Chris, Mark, Jasper and everyone else that I met and spoke to on the day.

Special thanks to our brilliant driver Nigel who also uploads to Youtube! You'll find his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Wallsrail/
