According to Railcam, 68008 is on that diagram today.
MARK
60085 is running in this light engine convoy, according to RTT:
0G53 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H51306/2026-09-13/detailed#allox_id=0
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!
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)
Further to GB's reply, it has been used to stage Heavy Haul Rail workings for the Sizewell project
running to and from Ipswich Griffin Wharf and Sizewell itself.
There were trains running direct to Sizwell last week which should run again for a week or two
during October before kicking off...
The refinery itself has closed, but as I understand it, the sidings there are being used for loading
as there is limited space at Humber for extra trains.
The 70-hauled Carstairs train is having its 'shakedown run' this evening:
3S93 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03587/2026-09-10/detailed
As per my previous reply, it's been running from Drax and Ratcliffe (loaded at Maltby) for a while now;
the Drax train runs during the night, but here is a photo I found of the Malby working:

One week only for now - more trains should run in October.
There is quite a bit if detail on deliveries by rail on the Sizewell C 'works tracker' website:

That one started on October 2nd last year, which is pretty typical for that diagram.
Interestingly, the very last working to commence last year was the other Toton train
(3J92/93, covering the MML), which didn't start until October 20th! o_O
