Is there any news on this? I can't seem to see anything on RTT but I could've missed itReports from Richard Clinnick on Twitter today that the first of the 90s leave Norwich for Freightliner on Friday...
Local informed source says Monday and Thursday next week.Is there any news on this? I can't seem to see anything on RTT but I could've missed it
Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for those movesLocal informed source says Monday and Thursday next week.
Thanks - there was nothing else on Twitter... I’ll keep my eyes open next week...Local informed source says Monday and Thursday next week.
Will be interesting to see how it comes out.Noted last night that LSLs 90001 has already entered the paint shop at Eastleigh. They don't half move quickly down there!
Moves have apparently been put back until 6 May.Here are the two RTT links I've now found with help from the above:

The move today has been cancelled according to RTT so I'm guessing the ones for the rest of the week will be as well. And as you say, they'll presumably start next weekMoves have apparently been put back until 6 May.
Greater Anglia’s fleet of electric locomotives, which hauled Intercity trains to London for nearly 20 years, is preparing to move out to a new life as a freight workhorse.
Most are being leased to Freightliner, which hauls container trains around the country....
They have now lined up many of the trains at their depot ready for them to be taken to their new home depot...
Same The railways won’t be the same without locos and slam door carriages it’s as simple as that.I shall miss the 90's, coming out of Liverpool Street in a Mk3 gaining speed. British designed and engineered trains have a certain "feel" to them which I don't think others do and slowly as they go I miss them.

These were 10411, 11068 and 12171Not posted yet but LSL took 90001 / 002 and 3 Ex GA Mk3s to Eastleigh today behind 47805.
I think you mean 47805.90001 and 90002 arrived at Eastleigh still with their AGA nameplates ? Strange
47085 reportedly carrying it's pre TOPS number D 1935 or similar.
A path has appeared on RTT for Weds 6th from Crown Point to Basford Hall. DRS operated I believe. I understand the plan is for a second move on Friday 8th, but no path on RTT yet. Assumption is that there will be 4 locos in each move, leaving 4 to go presumably w/c 11th sometime.Moves have apparently been put back until 6 May.

Updating my own post, the second path has appeared but for Thursday 7th.A path has appeared on RTT for Weds 6th from Crown Point to Basford Hall. DRS operated I believe.

The locos were 37059 and 37402. The real headcode of the move was 5Z50.A set of about 8 Mark 3 coaches were moved today from the Mid Norfolk Railway to Long Marston on this path:

power was a pair of class 37s (unidentified but 1 was in DRS livery and the other in large logo blue). Seen and heard in Nuneaton this morning at around 11:30 am. I (mis)timed and routed my daily walk to take in Nuneaton station, but as I approached the station front they departed, hence the long distance view from the car park and listen as they climbed from platform 6 towards Birmingham.
according to south east rail gen, the numbers are 12084 12167 12061 12015 12108 12079 12056 12146 12035 and 12067.I don't suppose anyone has the numbers? I have 10406, 11101 and 11093 as being at the MNR.
