90010+90006 at Whifflet90010+90006 at WhiffletDebranded Anglia liveried 90010+90006 pass through Whifflet with 0L89 Mossend - Coatbridge Freightliner light engine move 1.9.20 Following the replacement of the class 90's and mark 3 sets by class 745 and class 755 FLIRT units in East Anglia, a number of their redundant class 90's moved to Frieghtliner to replace some of the elderly class 86 locomotives on their intermodal container train workings.   The class 90's are no stranger to the Lanarkshire / Glasgow area however as they were often seen in this area when they were with the BR Intercity and later the Virgin West Coast franchise and often worked on the Glasgow - London WCML workings.

Here are two of the class 90's 90010+90006 on one of their early working for Freightliner passing through Whifflet
