The all-over military green is an improvement, it seems to disguise the awful styling a little.
As for the Freightliner do, somebody was taking a huge gamble using a 70 as the star turn!
How long will she be at Crewe, and is she set to go anywhere else this week?

7009 9 Is due off Crewe Bashford Hall to Brush Loughborough at 11 am Friday. Move looks set to be another Freightliner move.
37350 is the pioneer class 37 as D6700. It also spent some time numbered as 37119. 37001 was the second class 37, became 37707 and has since been scrapped.Or pioneer class 37 001 in Brunswick Green

In the tradition of the British Rail Britannia-class steam locomotives, 70025 will remained unnamed for the time being, since we have been advised by our legal team that naming a locomotive Gary Glitter is likely to be unpopular. Research is ongoing as to whether Michael Jackson would be an acceptable substitute."
Magic, thanks for that. I will see if I can see this somewhere and get film/photos.
I assume it would go?:
Crewe - Stoke-On-Trent - Uttoxeter - Barrow-On-Trent - Long Eaton - Loughborough
this is a guess as it looks the most direct. Is this correct.
^^ I agree with this fella, he's got good tasteBlack Sabbath? they where pretty important in the 70's music scene.
Im not sure as im going on the information ive been sent, but it's probably the most likely.

70099...
No news yet regarding its transfer from Crewe to Loughborough other than it looks set to be spending the weekend at Crewe Basford Hall where it currently resides. 70099 has been reallocated from MBDL to Freightliner's DHLT pool. This is to facilitate its transfer about the UK system by Freightliner. Once at Brush Traction 70099 will be undergoing a number of tests and evaluations. In the longer term, whilst it is known that GBRf have an interest in it, recent indications infer that Colas may also have an interest as well...
7009 9 Does seem to like being rather evasive.
Over on WNXX.Com
So could this become a reality then? (Just hope Colas dosent decide to use it on the Log Trains!)
