Preservation Information The set appears to have lead a stable life on the line, remaining in service. However as a primarily steam operated tourist railway (with very little booked diesel running) use of the DMU has been modest. As of 2011, the vehicle's annual booked running included two weekends performing as "Daisy" for the Day out with Thomas events and three weekends operating a winter-weekend service during November. Some years later it was found that the set was being used more often, with the last round trip of the day during the main summer holidays often featuring a diesel, the 110 set being available for some of these turns. 2019 was to be the final year of these regular passenger turns for the set. In common with all railways, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite were forced to shut over much of the Covid-19 pandemic and following reopening, the timetable was subject to modifications. As a result, 52077 was not used in service for four years (2019-2022). It would be November 2022 before the set ventured out again, albeit on a private driver experience charter day. By 2024, 52077 was out of service requiring some minor issues to be resolved before a return to service. |
