With the arrival at Freightliner's Crewe Basford Hall headquarters of a number of ex Greater Anglia Class 90s the use of the vintage AL6 Class 86s is now on borrowed time. The plan is for the new locomotives to be in operation by July but with COVID-19 delays, this date may well be pushed back. In light of this, I take every opportunity to capture their workings in what is the twilight of their working career. 86632 (built in April 1966) and 86639 (05.66) lead the 11.13 Felixstowe to Trafford Park 4M87 Freightliner past Victoria bridge south of Roade.
