Why not third rails?

Because greater manchester is completely overhead wire, and it used to have real locomotives using it.

Very interesting composition and lighting! Unusual with such a zoom, but looks great.

Are two of them DMU's? It blows my mind how much Diesel action runs under wire in England.

Its the old problem of limited electrifacation, both these diesels will travel on unpowered lines after leaving greater manchester.
