Will any of the above be working in multiple with any of the others? If so 
what combinations? I would very much like to see the 4-CIG leading with 
either the 33 or 73 at the back. Is this planned at all?

Looking at the working timetables on the website, the 4Cig runs with the 33
and 73.
I understand that this will be a top and tail operation, ie 73+4CIG+33.

E6003 is a 73/0 and not fitted with the Westcode equipment required for
true push-pull working. This will be the last opportunity for a while
to travel with E6003 which will be commencing a lengthy period of
maintenance shortly. For any EDLG members reading this I will be
putting out a newsletter concerning the scope of this work later this
month when I return from my holiday.
