This one now added to the website here. Another ERS hire to NwR but this has just been repainted yellow too. See ERS Facebook page for some preview photos.

Literally read this post and within half an hour, as I was heading to work, said vehicle upon a low loader trundled past me on London Road en route to the RTC.
Vehicle is ex works Network Rail yellow with 'On hire from ERS' or something similar noted on the side. I'm thinking it may have been down the road at Millennium Site Services? If I wasn't running late for work I'd have got a photograph as it waited to turn into right into the site!
