Electro-Diesel

Refrigerator liveried 88010 ‘Aurora’ & 68003 ‘Astute’ work 4S43 Daventry – Coatbridge pass Beck Foot.

 

This has been the typical power combination for the Tesco train of late. Apparently this is due to reliability issues with the electro-diesel class 88's which normally power the train single handedly on electric. This combination of a diesel and an electric working in multiple is very unusual in the UK, and this is the only instance I'm aware of where this has been regular booked traction for a train.
