RHTT Season 2026

Hello all, Just wanted to start another thread for this year's RHTT season, as locos will start arriving at York to pick up sets for different depots soon. My main questions are, are there any changes to the operators and traction being used this year? Any updates would be great.

Why would there be when Colas and GBRf have the RHTT contracts?

Class 93 - desperately seeking a use.

Same way DRS have used 93s - sub leasing.
(also rumours they may use them again in preference to 88s during the season of bad railhead conditions)

Indeed, look underused !.
(but arguably a solution looking for a problem).
