Train identifying help
Discussion
Going home yesterday from Cardiff central saw an unusual train, just wondering if anyone here can tell if it's anything special?
It was an EWS class 67 (I think) loco - silver quite pointy pulling 4 or 5 purple\brown carriages that to my un-knowledgeable eye looked to be 60-70's vintage - the sort of carriage that I would have travelled on as a child in the 70's anyway.
Some carriages had normal seating but certainly first class in terms of leather, space etc, but one had a large "board room" style table that ran nearly the full length of the carriage with seats all round and a model of the same train in a cabinet down the middle.
Any ideas?

That was the EWS managers train. I can't remember it's exact use but it varies. It's got on first class carriage, one buffet and one sleeper. I think it's used for some of their important customers or for the EWS management to tour the network.
They were off on a jolly up the Central Wales line this time.
