Can we start one of those "if it's only one vehicle is it technically a
train?" discussions? Apart from that I'd file it under "quirky but
charming". Some GWR fans will love it; others will splutter into their
soup.

Of course it's a train. A train is any vehicle or combination of
vehicles that has authority to run on the mainline. A helper engine
returning to base is a train (for example). So's a single unit railcar
(for example). Authority is granted by timetable and/or signals and/or
running order (train order). Nothing "technical" about this, it's universal.
So there! ;-)

Universal - right. Some people might look at the OED[1] and see the
words "series" and "connected" and think they don't apply in this case.

Brunel will be turning in his grave , it was bad enough when the 7ft
and a bit gauge was abolished but that "model" has taken the insult
too far.

Didn't the GWR bring in those single unit steam railmotors and diesel
railcars?
