Sporting the new Railtrack livery this converted 'Bubble Car'  was
seen at Reading General on 21 April 2001.  Though using a first 
generation DMU the equipment housed inside is hi-tech for inspecting 
rails.  GPS systemsn allied with film and video can present a picture
of the track whilst on the move and for later review,  and indication
of the exact location of any particular shot being availble at any time.
Wiht the increased concern of British Railways this unit is going to be 
used a lot.  Note the two large rail pointing lights.
