I'm aware there are circumstances when coasting is normal with electric traction, but I recent experienced it for the first time with diesel traction.
A Class 150 arriving in Sheffield from Huddersfield completely shut down the engines as it entered Platform 1. I was in the second coach of three and I certainly heard no engine sound from the other two coaches as we coasted to a halt in the correct position, and there was none as I left the train.
How normal or exceptional is this?
