A TransPennine Express Hitachi 5-coach Bi-Mode Class 802 unit runs north along the down fast line, on diesel power, just after passing the former Raskelf station location, to rear of view, whilst working the Sunday 18 April 2021 12.45 Manchester Victoria to Newcastle service. As I have seen a number of these TPE units running on diesel under the wires, either this is down to drivers not changing over from diesel to electric mode, or there is a power capacity issue as on the ECML coastal section in Scotland.
