Should be out again next week, although I'll admit nothing as good as 20304 on it. :P

Currently 47802 & 47712.

We've had some nice pairings so far:
20304 + 47712
47832 + 47712
47712 + 57004

Why do they need a DVT and a loco on the other end?

The DVT is used for the guard. The 47s can't worked with a DVT so needs a loco on both ends.

It's for guard and also bicycles/pushchairs.

And to act as a 'brake' coach.

Refusing to use it, or just trainspotters getting upset about DRS' sensible decision to send a duff down. Bearing in mind that duffs can be crewed by NXEA.

Because of the speculation that there were no spare locos at Norwich most had assumed 37194 would be used, but instead they sent 47802.

Not out this week, as we have got back another unit so we have enough units to cover the diagrams

EDIT - This is no longer running
