Great pictures, thanks for posting, first time I have seen the new class 99's. For my money, the German designs are still better than ours though. If that X4E is broadly equivalent to the Class 92, the German version just looks better.

Thank you, from an operational point of view we can just hope they're as efficient and successful as the 66s!!!

Nice shots. I love photographs from drivers and rail staff as you get to see locations you wouldn't normally see, thanks
