8200 in a field in Laois

[LNERW1]

Headed to Stradbally to volunteer at the railway this morning, and as we were approaching on the road in from Ballyroan, I was shocked to see a driving car of a DART 8200, in a field to the left of us as we drove in. Two other volunteers, one in the IÉ CME department and one in timetable management, had no clue what was going on. Even stranger, it appears to be gone as of a few minutes ago, headed home the same way. Can anyone help shed light on this? The working theory is it’s for the Electric Picnic, as it’s held on the Cosby Estate.
