Much prefer these to Class 91's. Class 91's have a stupid blunt end on them which is butt ugly and pointless. If you are going to have two driveable ends on a locomotive you have two ends the same or not have one at all.

@1ns4ne1d10t Cheers, the 91's have a blunt end because when originally built, they had the blunt end so they could work freight trains on the east coast during the night

Ive just found out. EWS are selling 12 of their class 90's.

@andyddc Yea, they'll probably end up with Porterbrook

@86501freightliner Thanks, and I completely agree with the unnessecery stop start nature of the so called intercity timetables, although some services have fewer stops but on others its pointless.

I quite like the 90s, they are very quick off the mark when operating a MK3 set on the GEML, although they don't beat my all time favourite traction, 86s!! However, if NXEA used the loco's properly, ie, make their diagrams less stop-start , then they would'nt be suffering the current reliabilty problems with them.
