47712, 90001 & 90002, 15.56 Eastleigh Arlington-Crewe HS (0Z37, 12E), site of Roade station 
 A photograph that could have been taken in the early 1990s perhaps? It shows 47712 'Lady Diana Spencer' towing former GA 90001 and 90002 as the 15.56 Eastleigh Arlington to Crewe HS running as 0Z37 passing Roade. The two Class 90s look absolutely superb in their shiny new Intercity Swallow livery complete with cast birds attached to the side of the locomotives. There was considerable debate on the internet about whether this is an authentic livery for this class. To be honest, I don't care too much as I think its suits them well and hope that I will see them hauling trains again run by Locomotive Services Limited (LSL) from their Crewe base. Incidentally, I saw and photographed 90001 when it was leaving its former operator making its way to LSL back in April, see...... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/28968884604/x90001-82127-82118-08-42-norwich ; I wonder what has happened to the nameplates?
