I think I've made at least one journey on 3876; it was on loan to Chester-le-Street one evening a few years ago, when I used to use the scholars services. Made a pleasant surprise. I can remember 3874 was fine when it was based at Chester-le-Street, but then it seems to have shift between Percy Main and Stanley a lot since then and just become terrible. I personally love the nostalgic feeling of the unrefurbished Tridents though, so would ride 3874 for that alone.
