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 facilitates.
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.
