90006, 90008, 90005 & 90007, 08.42 Norwich Crown Point-Crewe Basford Hall (0Z25, 5E), site of Roade station
Looking more like that they have just emerged from the
works rather than going to a new operator ready for a repaint into their corporate colours, a quartet of former Greater Anglia Class 90s passes the site of Roade station as the 0Z25 08.42 Norwich Crown Point to Crewe Basford Hall working. 90006 'Roger Ford', 90008 'The East Anglian', 90005 'Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson' and 90007 'Sir John Betjeman' are heading to Freightliner's headquarters at Basford Hall to enter a new phase of their working life as freight locomotives - a process that is reported to be starting by July. One wonders if they will still be wearing their nameplates when they emerge in their new green livery?
