I was watching a video ("London Underground - Sparks and Steam" by TVP).
One piece shows Jubilee 45709 coming into Amersham from Aylesbury.
It is uncoupled and moved to a siding and electric locomotive #5 John Hampden connects and takes off with the train into the city.
Just before 45709 is uncoupled, a trainman climbs around front and moves a lamp from a bracket at foot level from the front right corner (left if looking straight on at it) to the a bracket in the center.
I have found info on BR steam head codes and a lot of info about tube/subsurface electric light head codes (including the DD Forum, of course).
I can probably assume the lantern in the lower center means light engine.
However what does the first position I mentioned mean - passenger train?
Several of the references I found say various things but none seem to apply.
Any help greatly appreciated.
