As a Class 390 Pendolino heads south at the site of Roade's former station the 4M45 02.57 Felixstowe to Garston Freightliner heads north lead on this day by 90015 and 90006 'Modern Railways Magazine/Roger Ford'. The latter is the only former Greater Anglia Class 90 that moved to Freightliner during 2020 to retain its original name with them more normally retained by the locomotives' owners, in this case, Porterbrook. I think that the Genesee & Wyoming orange livery applied to most of Freightliners' Class 90s looks smart and brings them another lease of life, ironically back on the same tracks that they were introduced to service on back in the late 1980s.
