Greater Anglia Class 90s - 90012

Channel: Stoat13

Description
Locomotive hauled passenger trains on the Great Eastern Main Line between London and Norwich (Thorpe) ended after 169 years without any ceremony on 25th March 2020. This is my tribute to the last generation of loco hauled services which were formed of rakes of eight or nine [toward the end seven or eight] Mk.3 coaches sandwiched between a Class 90 locomotive at the London end and a Driving Van Trailer [DVT] of the 821xx series at the Norwich end of the train. These trains had replaced the previous generation of Great Eastern loco hauled services from 2004. This stock had previously worked on the West Coast Main Line between London Euston and Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, originally under British Rail ownership and then with Virgin West Coast after privatisation.

Most of the video is mobile phone footage.

On 27th June 2013, 90012 is seen leaving Colchester with a train from Norwich to Liverpool St. The locomotive is carrying "ONE" livery with the original "GreaterAnglia" logo. The name carried is "Royal Anglian Regiment" with the regimental badge above.
