The idea of the manager's train, business train, or inspection saloon is far from new. Some of the earliest pre-grouping railway companies employed the first examples. In the modern era, EWS' management train is a version of this rather old-fashioned idea.
For much of the modern era, EWS has operated a push-pull managers train and a 'business train'. This business train, despite its name, rarely operated as a single train with sets of coaches often being employed on extra services around the country, an example being on services laid on during major UK based sporting events and such.
The business train used the then rather old Mk2 coaches in a special EWS maroon livery and was hauled by all manner of EWS liveried traction, such as the Class 37 and, as in this pack, the Class 67.
