  • Where is the Class 89? Its a 91 and 82 youve got

  • Not true, unfortunately.

    They're not authorised to run at 140mph anywhere on the network. It was planned, but never actually happened, although i believe the flashing green signals are still there.

    And yes, that's a 91/82 (loco and DVT)

  • i thought there would be a badger

  • when specially authorised, 91s can run at 140mph (flashing green signals) but this is rare

  • That'll be a class 91. GNER got rid of the (only) class 89 a few years back, and 90s haven't been used for over 10 years on the route (and then only Leeds - London). Class 91s were designed specifically for the ECML, and are capable of 140mph (currently limited to 125 by signalling), whereas 90s are 110mph locos.
