DB's Men in black keep an eye on the green team.
With Grand Central's plans to run services from London Euston to Blackpool abandoned because of the Covid-19 pandemic one of the GCR liveried class 90's (90 029) that was to be on long term hire from DB Cargo to GCR has returned to more mundane duties working freights. It is coupled to class mate 90 039 in the new "Backbone of the Economy" livery.
Looking on to the right is Freightliner Heavy Haul 66 537 stabled with engineers train 6Y52 the 19.02 to Tebay for the following evening. The class 90's were on route to Crewe ETD as I believe one has developed a TDM fault causing them to stop speaking to one another when in multiple. Ordinarily they would have hitched a ride on 6L35 the Mossend to Dagenham as far as Warrington but on Fridays this service doesn't serve Kingmoor Yard so this pair we left over the weekend.
