LNER to hire DB Cargo Class 90 - now 2x 90s

[SGS]

Cheers for that guys.

Would any of you happen to have their workings for tomorrow? (10 March)

Much appreciated

90039+set now (0920) sitting at P2 at King's Cross, if that's any help.

90039+set now (0920) sitting at P2 at King's Cross, if that's any help.

Looking at RTT that would suggest the 1008 Kings Cross to Newark and 1154 return as its first two workings then.

Also looking at RTT, it would seem the set has sat there since arriving empty at 0811. I'm surprised there is the capacity to have a Kings Cross platform occupied for two hours at that time of day but perhaps it needs to be out of the way at Bounds Green.

Currently scheduled to work 1D18/1A45 to Leeds and back after the 1B82/83 run

Turns out it didn't do the Leeds run. Does anyone know of its whereabouts?

By the look of RTT, it did the 1B82 Newark North Gate run. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y60172/2017/03/10/advanced

Given that nothing else left platform 2 in the mean time:

It is interesting that it came in as 5S09, whereas 1S09 appears to have run using the stock from another inbound service (1Y03 by the look of RTT).

Saw it heading north earlier on (i think) 1D07 King's Cross - Leeds

 

[flyingbanana]

I understand that 90039 is working 1D05/1A25 now. Any other workings planned for today?

I've been away a while. How many 90s are now working for VTEC?

90019 - A Exam / Driver Training
90039 - Attached to BN22; 5S09 / 1B82 / 1B83 / 1B86 / 1B87 / 5Y18

 

[GW43125]

Apologies if I've missed this, but are there any set diagrams for the 90s or are they just on an ad-hoc basis?

 

[DarloRich]

ad hoc but seemingly no further north than Leeds/York. For what it is worth I have only had a 90 on Leeds or Newark workings.

On Tuesday 90019 worked a mixed Kings Cross>Newark>Kings Cross>Leeds> Kings Cross roster ( I had a little trip out)

 

[96tommy]

Does anybody have the 90 working for today? Thank you

It was still there at 18:00.

I would have thought that any driver could take the set back south, driving the DVT. Perhaps not.

 

[dave87016]

the unions would not permit it in part from contrarism and in part on the basis of practically how do you do the 'pre journey checks' on traction you don;t know and may never have seen from an operating / driving point of view ...

Seeing as the Class 90 would be providing the traction power how would you go about fault and failure diagnosis and rectification if you don't know what a Class 90 is? It doesn't matter what it is or where on the train it is, if you don't sign for it, you don't work it.

 

[43094]

It worked the 2045 back.

Had to be a Kings Cross driver.

Monday was not a good day due to the issues at Bawtry.

Spotted 90029 at Leeds on the 10th. This was at about 18:30 so it must have done at least one more run that day.

Thought it was amusing a DB locomotive operating a Stagecoach/Virgin service, though the livery did fit well with the Virgin rake.

Also done the next Newark run. I should have been on it from Peterborough but my connection from Stansted was running late due to someone having a fight with the crossing gates at Ely.
