You'll actually find that the higher up in a large company you get, the less you know about the operations.
Just how long did TfL think that CrossRail was going to be on time?

How do you know?

The way I would approach this is to ask - "has anyone seen 93001 lately and WHERE".
I do think someone would have noticed it in transit somewhere if it had left its maker.

On the back of a lorry.
To where?
An update from the CEO of ROG in a LinkedIn post

"93001 successfully underwent its final inspection at Stadler's stunning facility in Valencia recently and is currently underway to the UK (half way across the Bay of Biscay for those interested in that sort of thing!). 93002 left Valencia ahead of her stablemate a few weeks ago and is currently undergoing initial testing at the Faurei testing centre in Romania."

Any more clues given as to their prospective workflows?

Stock moves? That’s all ROG have at the minute. I can see them being hired to Freightliner for London Gateway - Crewe though? If that’s a possibility.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them work on the two sleeper services either.

Will they be powerful enough to haul a fully laden container train?
Yes. easily! Almost twice as much on electric as a 66 at the rail, and enough on diesel + battery to get up to Linespeed on the Gateway branch as quick as a 66. Probably wouldn’t lose much time compared to a 66 on the Felixstowe line or Nuneaton - Hams Hall / Lawley St.

Seems a bit of overkill for what they will end up doing then

I’m sure Mr Burley has plans…

The indications I’ve had are that the Class 37s (for the time being, at least) will be retained. Hence why I still wonder where the initial Class 93s could be deployed.

He needs to, otherwise the business will be crippled by the cost of these locos.

Either some grand plan or stock moves!

Looks horrible to me. The blue idea was better.
It’s off to Worksop.

I actually like the green. It's each to their own.

I agree, looks really good. Front end looks a bit messy with all the coupling equipment, but over all a good looking loco.

Don’t know when it’s moving, but expect to be straight inside the buildings there out of view.

Ok thanks.
If I could get a rough idea of timings I’d try and take a pic of its arrival
Was mentioned upthread it may be going by road.

I don't normally do livery discussions, but that looks really nice indeed.
