31452, of Eastern Rail Services was alongside, visiting the railway from 3rd July for a film contract, for which it recently received an Intercity scheme. There are 3 similarly liveried Mk2 e/f coaches at Bolton Abbey, with various grass attachments on the roofs, it would seem related - one hopes that it is to be a comedy. 31452 was new as D5809 in July 1961, first allocated to 41A Sheffield Darnall, later renumbered to 31279 before ETH conversion in October 1984
