Is it a bus?! Is it a train?!

NO! It's a road rail (Ro-Rail) coach on test, on the Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead branch line in 1931.

" 142041 is hopefully going to be worked on over winter and this is to be concentrated on removing seats and a thorough clean of the manky interior. It’s no wonder the public didn’t like travelling in them with all that filth ".
