You certainly couldn't last 48 hours without refuelling/discharging toilets. That's done daily.

That would mean 20 units being serviced per day. It is just not possible. The Tralee branch only gets swapped once weekly.
If a new fleet of trains need tlc every 48h then questions need to be asked when average millage would be 700-1000 miles.
The fuel tanks are quiet large, its somewhere between 500 to 1000 miles worth of fuel they can take and the toilets are not always emptied daily.
