Corona train?

[orienteer]

Waiting for a northbound train at Finchley Road today, around 11.45, a "not in service" S7 (units 555,556, running number 714) appeared. Seemed to be temporarily kitted out with longitudinal, full height cellophane-like divisions in the first few cars, with sanitizer equipment. Passed it at Wembley Park stopped at platform 1, presumably to reverse into Neasden depot.

Any info on this?

one of the regular 4LM testing trains, so that engineers have a separate enclosed workstation.

As Dstock7080 says, it's a 4LM test train. The team I work closely with devised the concept and made it work, and have since done similar with other stocks including 1973, 1995 and 1996 stocks. I've still not seen one in the flesh!
