1) Were there spare units at Sheffield? (and I mean actually spare, as in not needing maintenance, repairs, cleaning or anything else)
2) Could the actual level of passengers be predicted. (I don't just mean were more people likely to travel that day, I mean actual numbers)
3) If there were 'spare' units, did none of the other routes in the area need any of those units?
4) Can you be certain that they had not planned for it? Is it possible that infact a train may have failed, preventing it from being used?
