Why do the "Electrics" click like the do when stationary even though they not "connected" to a supply?

[mappman1000]

@halesworth01 They are electric engines I believe, but powered by diesel

[halesworth01]

@mappman1000 Sorry Mappman i was referencing the NXEA unit which was being hauled by the diesels...maybe someone else could shed some light upon this question please? Why do (full) electric units "click" like this one does in the video when there is no electric supply connected to them? i could understand it if it had been hauling on a long run on the electrified lines as the "clicking" is maybe the drive motors "cooling down" when it pulls into a station?

I saw that when I was in Norwich on the 2nd August, really thought it was going to form the 1006 to Lowestoft, shame the 153s decided to play right after they changed the platform :( great video btw!
