I wonder who will be the first to run an 88 off the wires thinking they were they were in a 68 ,other than the panel to the right the controls are identical

 

Easy fix - just fire up the diesel............

 

(Hat coat etc.)

 

Cheers,

Mick

I've seen this happen in Lyon, perhaps twenty years ago. The local bus fleet was divided into pure diesel, trolleybuses and 'bi-modes', all with identical bodies. A trolley driver forgot he wasn't in a diesel, and tried overtaking a row of stationary vehicles; I completed my journey on foot.

Couple of photos of 168014 taken at Wembley on 22 August

 

the first one looks if the loco is connected to the DMU behind but obviously is it not as shown by the  other photos.

 

Thought it made an intersting image.
