Having secured the “Tesco” contract from DBS with pairs of its diesel locos, DRS realised it had to do something to restore the “green” credentials of the train. Whilst it’s generally accepted that two diesels would not consume twice as much fuel as one – due to the pairs superior ability to accelerate to line speed – claims that they would use the same amount of fuel as a single engine are usually met with scepticism. However - without any sense of irony - they provided “greener” traction by restoring the very locomotives that they had ousted, the DB Shenker class 92 electrics! Here in autumn sunshine on 12 November 2013, 4S43 - the 06:19 Daventry-Mossend 'Tesco Express' - is swept majestically over Docker viaduct by 92015.
