EWS Company Train

EWS Company Train

The EWS Company Train (CoT) is a one-off charter train used in the United Kingdom.

The fixed configuration train-set consists of three British Rail Mark 3 coaches sandwiched between a driving trailer and locomotive.

The central coaches use a maroon-coloured paint scheme and are used for hospitality. The conference coach provides a cinema and boardroom suite, with seating for 14 people in both areas. In the centre, there is a dining coach with reception and bar areas. The third coach is a renovated sleeping car; with half the usual number of bedrooms and addition of en-suite facilities.

The end units, a dedicated Class 67 No. 67029 diesel locomotive and Driving Van Trailer also sport a special livery differing from the main coaches—striking silver with black lettering.DVT No. 82146 has been modified with controls for Electro-Motive Diesel's AAR system used on British Rail Class 59/66/67 engines, the signals are conveyed over additional cabling installed in the intervening coaches.

Both the DVT and locomotive contain cab-mounted video cameras to provide patrons with a "drivers eye view" from the conference coach.

Rolling stock

Rolling stock used in the train consists of five vehicles:

† No. 10211, formerly No. 40510 ex-HST TRUK (Trailer Restaurant Unclassified Kitchen),
