33 and dmu how will that carry 20000 passingers thats pre booked according 1 big fan is it the sardine line

Two seprate timetables on the KWVR Leslie. The steam is running for pre-booked passengers and the DMU shuttling back and forth all day. If John gets a day rover ticket he won't need to get off at all, there's a 3 minute turnaround at each end of the line each trip, meanwhile the steam is going in the opposite direction. http://www.kwvr.co.uk/santaspecials.html

Are you sure that the 20,000 punters is one days worth? Most galas at places like the SVR only have about 6000 over a three day weekend, 20,000 sounds like the Santa season total to me.

The Time table Looks as though there will be two DMUs in Use most probably the 101 & the Single Car as I think the 108 is in for much needed refurbishment.
