@waldenhouse
its actually a class 57, a variant of the 47 class, same shell different innards i presume, and yes it was modified for Virgin trains to recover Voyager and pendo sets that have broken down, (or in the case of the pendo's, need to be taken off electrifed lines because of line maintenance or power line issues).
kinda also looks class56 ish as they have a grille where the pendo recovery coupling is

[@philipstokes2824]

56s where based on a 47 shell

Interesting to see the differences in hand signals between the UK and the states

[@sjpowermac]

Nice one, realy interesting and well captured.

[@waldenhouse]

Strange Coupling on that 47 - presumably most 47's have been modified to rescue broken down non standard coupling stock.

Sounds more like a 710 than a 645 weird.

[@johnnyboy3949]

Was this services going to Holyhead? Or had it just broken down?

[@mermaidfan2420]
