5Z90 due to leave Norwich at 08:42.
could well be 90001 + 90002 going to Locomotive Services LTD, they could also be taking DVT 82118 + MK3 12114 which have been donated to Crewe Heritage Centre by Porterbrook.
90034 is currently still at Ilford Depot, should imagine that its due to head back to Crewe soon now that Greater Anglia's MK3 sets have been stood down/withdrawn.

apologies if there is already a thread that has mentioned/covers this?
according to a video by "Nodrog" on YouTube (link attached below), Grand Central are set to start using Class 90s, likely from DB rather than ex LNER Class 91s on push/pull services from London Euston to Blackpool North...
from what I understand the next one arriving is 745001, the unit arrived in Calais last Monday/Tuesday and on Thursday evening was attached to 66002 but the move was cancelled, so I presume it will come this Thursday instead?

apologies if this is the wrong thread for this.
GA and some of their MK3 Class 90 hauled sets?. new trains have started arriving but looks like most of the MK3s will still be needed heading into the new year.
although the delivery of 745005 didn’t happen, if they kept 104 at NCP, there wouldn’t be room for 005 with all the current rolling stock still about, NCP is limited for space right at the moment.
been mentioned on Twitter that as from next week some 710s are due to go to Worksop for storage along side the x3 MK4 sets and x5 345 units, any ideas why this is?
the 8th and final set (3209/3210) returned from refurbishment on 16/04/19, ran from Hellemmes to London via Brussels.
remaining "classic" unrefurbished sets are: 3215/3216, 3217/3218 and 3223/3214.... with 3224/3213 still in use with Thalys/IZY.
(my own veiws) - wouldn't think any Stadler fleets will be complete when the first Adventra units appear but will certainly be a good amount of the Stadler units about.
not to sure when the first of the Intercity 745s are due, delayed due to issues regarding the mini buffet (so ive heard), if...
