It was this week and it was a regular Tesco train which more often than not has a class 88.

Tesco normally insist on "electric" so probably the trailing load reflects the locos power.

If it were a positioning move (for the second 66) the second loco would not normally be powered up.

If I can find the video again I'll post a link.

A class 88 on electric is rated at 5,400HP and a class 66 around 3,000HP at the wheels.
