GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

[childwallblues]

RTT reports that on Thursday 99002 ran light to Garston Car Terminal and took 6L48 empty car flats to Dagenham. It returned to Garston on Friday morning on 6X41 loaded car train and returned south on 6L48.

 

[BRcrosslane]

I wonder if GBRF will switch locos on a regular basis and how the 99 is performing on this service compared to a 66

 

[Tobytrain10]

Looks like the Scotland car train is a getting 99s from monday, a 99 looks like its set to go from leicester to peterborough tommorow, then peterborough to mossend

That’s fantastic news.

I can see tomorrow's Peterborough move (0E99) on RTT, but nothing from there to Mossend?

It's now appeared on RTT:

0S98 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/R61479/2026-09-13/detailed

(Monday's 6X77 is cancelled, which explains why the 99 is starting its diagram from Mossend rather than Dagenham)

Took a while for the allocations to appear on RTT, showing as a pair, 99008 and 99009.

showing as a pair, 99008 and 99009.

I wonder if the other loco is going to Mossend for driver training - the 4M57/4S57 intermodals to/from Hams Hall
would be another ideal diagram for 99-haulage!

Up for driver training not 100% sure they are going on the car train

4M63 Felixstowe North to Trafford Park, GBRF on RTT is noted as starting as diesel and changing en route., is this another working destined for a 99 ?

For what date???
Cant even find 4M63
Edit: found it, as said in post below its a freightliner path

This is a Freightliner working, hauled by a class 66 to Ipswich, then 90s. Can you send this “GBRf 4M63”?

Only time I have seen it, it has been a pair of Freightliner 90s on the WCML.

I’ve seen this one many times. It used to be a very frequent 66 substitution before the 90s started (in late 2023) working pretty much the same trains each day.

 

[Tobytrain10]

It is worth noting that one of 4L18s paths have it pathed as an electric locomotive, noticed this quite a while ago but forgot about it until now

 

[Scotrail88]

So do we know where they are going in Scotland
Seen few shunts around depot today but no allocations
