DRS seem to have become tight on Class 47s following storage of 47712 (which by all accounts is very run down - needing engine repairs and new tyres) and maintenance required for 47802. 47841 was only used as an ETH locomotive on Friday, and is also believed to be less than trustworthy, although it worked north as lead on Saturday.
