Indeed they did - they fitted it with huge headlights on the cab roof domes and ran it on a test track at a railway development centre.

Thanks to Stephen Burdett for this Flickr pic. Quote Yeovil Pen Mill 1985 In the mid 80s the West of England resignalling got underway.As a result,many services were diverted particularly at weekends and this gave critical operational challenges at places such as Yeovil. This scene on 30/3/85 shows 50037 waiting to take the chord to Yeovil Junction with the 10.27 Paddington - Paignton whilst the hst works the 08.27 Penzance to Paddington. The dmu would normally commence its journey at Bristol or Westbury but on this day it left Yeovil at 12.49. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely because there wasn't enough space to arrange the Down platform in any other way - although that does to some extent depend on what was built when.
