They were made into two car sets. There were three rosters 2 rosters consisted of two
pairs and the third roster was a two car set. The two car originally run Mondays to
Fridays morning and afternoon peaks, but got cut back to the a.m. roster only. The
four car sets ran on all days to varying degrees, either stabling at Scarborough or
Thirroul.
