Freightliner Crewe

Asking on behalf of an old friend and ex colleague who is now in the Midlands, what are Freightliner intermodal at Crewes routes and traction competencies, and are their various links or does everyone sign everything?
Many thanks
Just to clarify I am referring to drivers.

Freightliner Intermodal, Crewe. As I understand:
- 66, 70, 86, 90 (and also 08?)
- Ditton and Garston (Merseyside)
- Trafford Park (Manchester)
- I believe there is some form of route knowledge to and from Midland Road in Leeds to move locos on/off maintenance
- Willesden via Tamworth 'direct' as well as via Bescot etc. for overnight diversions
- Relatively sure they go to Coatbridge but may be wrong, may only be Carlisle.

I'm sure some people will polish that up re: Midland Road and Carlisle/Coatbridge/Mossend.

Spoke to a mate who's a shunter over there. On the intermodal side it's something along the lines of:

Carlisle, Ditton, Garston, Trafford Park and Wembley. In theory, should sign 66,70, 86 and 90 but new drivers aren't getting trained on 86s any more and there's still a load who need to do 70 training as well.
