Well if there was a 3rd crew member they stayed well hidden in one of
the cabs.

But I doubt in the 21st century any TOC would three man an operation
like Watford Snorbens.

I suspect they would if the cost of his "revenue protection" was
covered by the receipts which would otherwise be lost by e.g.
non-collection of fares from passengers completing their journeys
before the train reached Watford in the rush hours.
