If I were to take a guess, 1001's main role would be for internal movements rather than for recovery, ie. moving dead vehicles around the depot, or moving them between depots
Yeah, the only first hand experience I've had with 1001 as a driver was during the Sunderland Tall Ships, where it was used quite heavily to keep the 69** sheds moving, but then it was just in addition to the engineering vans already used.
