As of 24 hours ago, 91108 wasn’t planned to work an LNER passenger service again.
Then 91129 failed at Doncaster overnight.
Therefore today, 91108 went on to BN12 and 91129 replaced it in platform 2.
91108 will also be out tomorrow (workings TBC) though I would expect tomorrow to be its last day in passenger service.
Also of note, 43045/NL03/43064 have been hired from EMT, to work:
1A48 1845 LDS - KGX
5D48 2152 KGX - NL.
The combination of the above prevented a number of cancellations.

What's the current situation with 91116? Is it back out on duty or still in bounds green for repairs after the fire damage?

I realise there’s a good answer to this, but why not just off lease 116 and keep 108 going? Seems mad to take a working loco and take parts to fix a broken one......

I suspect 91 108 is due a major exam while 91 116 isn't?

Is 91108 out today?

And nobody has a need for a high-geared passenger loco to work heavy freight.
Most freight systems are busy ordering new Vectrons, with their extensive and proven cross-border capability.
ETCS will eventually kill off many older locos, as it won't be economic to convert them (starting with the southern ECML).
Probably...
As it stands, yes...
There’s a path in for it to go Bounds Green to Doncaster Wabtec tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

has 91107 gone off lease?
One doesn't like to say "I told you so" but....
Had a few too many paint jobs over the years?

^yes, I wondered what on earth this meant.
I'll ask the obvious... Any plan for LNER to run a farewell tour? I'm not talking like the GWR HST one, but one more the like the BLS "Bound for Craigy" (although this was not a farewell tour). Given the recent news, I'm sure a charity tour in aide of St. Johns would go down well for both parties. Just throwing it out there is all 
Yes, why do you ask?! The only bit which has changed is that 91108 May now be in traffic tomorrow, as well.
That’s not the current plan.
Any unplanned major issues aside, 108, 103, 117 and 120 are planned to be the first four to go, though which of 117 and 120 finishes in traffic first is still to be confirmed.
