Greater Anglia Class 90s - 90002 and unknowns

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.

90002:

Unfortunately I found I only had one piece of video of 90002, 12 seconds long, taken from another train departing Norwich for London on 9th July 2016. This was also taken with a GoPro, which explains the fish-eye appearance. At this time 90002 carried "abellio greateranglia" branding and the name plate "Eastern Daily Press".

I found that I also had footage of trains where the locomotive is unknown or where individual coaches are being transferred, so I have added them after the 90002 clip:

On 2nd July 2014, Coach 12116 is seen passing Colchester being hauled by Direct Rail Services locomotive 47501. 47813 was between the leading locomotive and the coach but was not working. The coach was being taken to Wolverton for refurbishment, the "ONE" livery would be replaced with the Abellio Greater Anglia White/Grey livery.

This is followed by a parallel running view of a train in "ONE" livery leaving Liverpool Street station for Norwich on 23rd December 2014, headed by DVT 82102. Behind the DVT is coach 12034. A 315 also in "ONE" livery can be seen in the background.

Nearly a year later at Stratford on 22nd December 2015, Direct Rail Services locomotive 57310 hauls two refurbished Mk.3 coaches, 12097 and 11100, on their way back to Norwich Crown Point Depot. The coaches carry "abellio greateranglia" branding.

On 11th August 2017, Norwich Crown Point Depot is seen from the window of a train departing Norwich for London Liverpool Street. DVTs that can be identified are 82112 and 82114, with coach 12019 next to a class 170 and class 153 DMU. By this time the branding had changed to "greateranglia".

A similar view on 29th April 2018, with a rake of stock headed by DVT 82112 visible in the foreground. Around the back of the shed an 08, a Direct Rail Services Mk.2 DVT and class 37/4 can be seen.

A week later on 3rd May 2018, another view of Norwich Crown Point Depot with a rake of Mk.3 coaches visible in the foreground.

On 6th June 2019 there was another parallel running shot of a train leaving Liverpool Street for Norwich, lead by DVT 82127.
