Normally only the 800 and 802 are referred to as bi mode units. However i understand that the 801 are actually bi mode too but i think they just have a very small engine or a very small fuel tank so it is only designed to be used in an emergency. My question is how often do the 801 operate on diesel power? When exactly is this used? How far can they get on diesel power? Is it enough for 801 to get between Ely and Peterborough during the Cambridge engineering work diversions? Do the 801 actually operate during the Cambridge engineering work diversions? I would be interested to know more about the diesel power of these units?
