Jack Mc Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Class 91s and MkIV DVTs, 21/12/19 Leeds - 91128 Intercity 50 Amongst the crowds waiting for the HST, 91111 hauls failed 91106 into Leeds 91111 For the Fallen 91111 with 43206 91106 MkIV DVT 82218, alongside 144001 Peterborough - 91128 Intercity 50 MkIV DVT 82212 Bounds Green - 82215 (I think!) London King's Cross - Left to right - 91105, 91112, 91116. Having never previously visited KX, and being unlikely to again in the time the 91s have left, I felt quite lucky to have the opportunity to photograph several, without any Azumas interfering! 91112 and 91116 91109 Sir Bobby Robson, note the oversized '09' Left to right - 43312, MkIV DVT 82225, 801111, and just visible is MkIV DVT 82207 91109 Sir Bobby Robson alongside 801109 82225, with the HST having now left for Craigentinny as an ECS 801111 (paired with 801109), and 82207 Had a great day out on the HST Farewell Tour, and it was made a bit more special by avoiding Azumas to return to Leeds behind a 91, that being 91109 Sir Bobby Robson / 82225.

Trev52A Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Signs of the times at Newcastle on 30th November 2019... The bottom sign is now superfluous as far as LNER are concerned - how long before the top one is also redundant? That's 91121 beyond, waiting to leave at the rear of a southbound train.

Cross country still operate HSTs north of York. I know their sets are shorter though so would they use a different stop board? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have amended my original post. It looks like there may be a FO working south through Newcastle in daylight, plus a few other early (too early for me!) morning workings. Otherwise during the hours of darkness. (Info from a thread on the RailUKforums) Thanks for the correction.

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2020 I was told late last year by a LNER driver that three more Class 91’s and MkIV sets are due to go this month but there seems to be no sign of them leaving just yet.

hexagon789 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Looks like the 91s will be with LNER a bit longer - https://mobile.twitter.com/LNER/status/1222540451988766721 They are keeping some 225 sets on until December 2021 to help with the introduction of their new timetable then, pending introduction of their additional order of Class 80x for the Edinburgh fast services. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Talk on WNXX that this involves up to 15 sets and is for 3 years. suggestion is they will be kept on Leeds diagrams but also a few as hot spares. also suggested that long term new stock will be coming 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2020 I wonder if 91104 and 91132 will head to Europhoenix or be picked over for spares like 91106 and 91108? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another set moved today as 5Z18, 08.59 Doncaster Works Wagn Shops to Crewe CS, taken by GBRf 66763 'Severn Valley Railway'. I'm assuming for storage at Crewe before onward movement at a date to be arranged to Widnes and refurb/repaint for GC. 66763 5Z18 Brighouse 04022020 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeBor Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I believe that this is stored 91108 pictured inside the boundary fence of Wabtech Doncaster yesterday (Monday 3rd February), my picture taken using my iPhone. Notice the missing pantograph, cab nose section and removal of all identifiable numbers. I am led to believe that this is due to be scrapped.

Jack Mc Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Spent some time at Doncaster and York on Saturday, 1st February. The lighting wasn't too great so I've messed around with a couple of the images. 91102 City of York. Despite several rumours that it was no longer with LNER, as of Saturday it definitely was! Following on from recent posts in this thread, what remains of 91108. The most noticeable recent piece to be removed is the pantograph. 91105 91131... ... and again at York. I was going to spend a bit of time on York, however after just sitting down on platform three, 91110 came into the station. To others it might not be significant, however it has always been my favourite loco and I've never had a chance to get it for haulage whilst in it's BBMF livery. A quick sprint down the station solved that issue, the day being worth it to me just for that! At York... ...and Doncaster. Aside from it being my favourite, the plaque demonstrates the reason why I feel this loco should be preserved. 91121 91107 Skyfall MkIV DVT 82230 91114 Durham Cathedral MkIV DVT 82223 91129 91101 Flying Scotsman 91104. Another 91 which was rumoured to not be in ECML service anymore. These seem to have remained in service in place of 91122 and 91128, which have recently been debranded and moved to Leicester. Plenty of Hitatchi units running about now, LNER, Hull Trains and TPE variants were seen on Saturday. First time I've been since the HSTs have finished, so it was a major disappointment when the Aberdeen/Inverness trains come through the middle and you can't hear them from under Hexthorpe bridge! Either way still nice to see plenty of 91s about, for now. Jack 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
