A green light for "electric" trains?

[bladesman123]

Looked on the SYPTE website today and in the media section they have the headline "A green light for electric trains?" and underneath this they have a photo of an HST :roll: (43048)

It is a picture taken of an MML train at Sheffield though, so it complements that half of the content of the article.

Hmmmm.....An article on the electrification of the MML showing a picture of an EMT HST......No, I can't see why they've done that either...:roll:

Don't expect jourmalists to know what they are talking about. The one in question probably has no idea the difference between what a Diesel or an Electric train looks like.

I would hope that somebody working for South Yorkshire PTE has some idea of the difference between the two!
