That's good news, and if you had any part in that, well done for making them aware.
One thing that puzzled me, and I'm only an enthusiast that enjoys videoing trains rather than an employee of the railway companies or associated contractors like some on the forum, so pardon me for any ignorance, but give the destination was Newport, why did these 91's get dragged via the ECML. Would there not have been a more direct route they could have been taken? Not that I'm complaining as it gave me an opportunity to document the event, but it does seem the long way round.
