769450 ready to work train 2K80, 0550 Wigan North Western to Alderley Edge. The unit is already in diesel mode ready for the run over the non-electrified route via Hindley and Westhoughton, and will change into AC mode in the platform at Bolton. This will be the very first Northern 769 working in passenger service, and also the first 769 of any kind to change from diesel mode to AC mode in passenger service (some 769s run in South Wales but only operate in diesel mode).
