Class 90's at Edinburgh

[Serathor]

Hi apologies if this is a silly question.

Every time I visit Edinburgh Waverley (admittedly not that often) there are a pair of 90's stabled up. Do they ever move?

That's great, thank you - that would make sense, that they are stabled there. Ready to be used.

They won't be now as only the 92s can work with the Mk5 stock and the Mk3s were removed from service last week.

Yes thats true. In the past i have seen double 90s go through Carlisle southbound on freight duties so wonder what freight duties may originate north of the border from and to?

One early morning on is the 05:48 Mossend to Daventry service, normally passes the lowlander at Carstairs during the splitting which is normally a pair of 90s.

Has any freight flows changed to electric (or 88) with Grangemouth gaining wires?
