 The Unit working the train was XP2015  .... one of the new engines..
with 4 cars should do the job easy.

The last week or so hasnt been good for the XPTS... 2009 (new engine)
has been playing up with cooling group problems, it got hauled home
wit 2004 on NT2 from Broadmeadow on Wed 24/1

2013 and 2005 have been chronically ill and have finally been
withdrawn to attempt to get them performing at anacceptable level,
whilst they wait their turns for new engines..  There are still 2
units at Goninans.. 2001 and 2007

That is why WT27 was a single unit
