British Rail Class 90 25kV Bo-Bo electric locomotive 90010 heads southbound working the 1P05 06:00 (07:50 29L) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train at a grim Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
90010 was built at British Rail Crewe Works and entered service on October 25th 1988.
The caged signal device to the left of the train is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of the platform out of sight (the up line) during bi-directional workings.

That staircase has long gone. But not the cafe, it is still there slightly altered but now a WH Smiths selling drinks!

The Class 86 locomotives built upon the Class 81-5 however they included some improved features such as quieter fans. The locos were initially notorious for causing track damage due to a large amount of unsprung mass however, after modifications which led to the fitting of large flexicoil springs, the problems diminished. The initial class 86/0 subclass was limited to 85 mph due to the track-wear issue, those which were fitted with flexicoil springs were renumbered into the 86/2 series and were 100mph capable. 3 test bed class 87s were numbered 86101-103 and were 110mph locos, 86101 remains in the country as part of the ACLG collection and should be moving to Warrington soon for ice breaking duties. Many locomotives have been exported to operator Floyd in Hungary and are used on freight trains over there. 86701 and 86702 were also preserved by the ACLG however, it is looking like they will be exported in the new year. The 86/7 subclass was 110mph capable however they were withdrawn in early 2013 due to lack of GSMR fitment. After nearly 50 years of service, 13 locos remain in service with Freightliner and 1 with ETL. The 86/6 subclass is limited to 75mph and are used on Freightliner trains on a daily basis as working pairs. 86501 is the only 86/5, it was converted from an 86/6 in 2000 as an experiment with regearing being carried out. It can handle the same load as two 86/6s and frequently turns up on Class 90 turns.
