Hello all,
Just some questions as I don't know the Wherry Lines operations well:
1. The drivers are DRS crew, but on both the short set and the class 47 electric drag, is it Abellio guards? And I guess DRS drivers already sign the route as they do RHTT work on the Yarmouth route? Are the drivers based at Norwich?
2. Do Class 47's still do the class 90 drags in Summer Saturdays? I thought I heard something about it being cut back as a London- Norwich instead of a through Yarmouth service?
3. With the Short Set still running, I assume GA are still short for units?
Any help is appreciated, it's for a Train Sim video project. Any help on the history of Loco hauled services to Yarmouth will be helpful as well, such as the last LHCS before the GA class 47 short set started
