I have no problem at all with the use of double headers only when the
need arises. I was under the impression that 3801 was due to go in for a
major boiler overhaul and inspection when 3830 came back into operation
and that '30 would be replacing '01 during this period. Is this not now
going to happen or will it happen later in the year ?
