EWS acquired a large fleet of 20 locomotives from the Railfreight Distribution business and a further 5 from Rail Express Systems. As well as freight duties, EWS are contracted to provide locomotives for First ScotRail's Caledonian Sleeper services between Scotland and London Euston, and the Class 90s are frequently used for this purpose.

'one' Anglia

In early 2004, 'one' needed a replacement for the ageing Class 86 locomotives on the Norwich-London route. At the same time Virgin Trains was starting to get rid of its Class 90 locomotives. A deal was struck and progressly 90001-015 were delivered to Norwich Crown Point replacing the Class 86s. But the reliability wasn't good and the last few Class 86s left were kept in service and sometimes Cotswold Rail Class 47s were used. One then borrowed Class 90s from EWS and Freightliner to retire the Class 86s. The reliability got better and the borrowed locos went back to their owners. However, in 2006 reliability of the fleet is still not as it should be, and 90036 is on loan from EWS to sustain operations. EMU Class 321s also get used as cover. A massive overhaul project is currently being undertaken at Bombardier, Derby, to refurbish and improve the reliability of these locomotives.These locomotives will haul Mk3 coaching stock which have just been fully refurbished at Bombardier, Derby during Ocober 2006. ‘one’ is the brand name of London Eastern Railway Ltd, which operates local, suburban and express services from London Liverpool Street in the City of London to East and North London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and East Anglia, otherwise known as the Greater Anglia network. ...

In 1998, no. 90002 became the first locomotive to be repainted in Virgin Trains red and black livery. It was named "Mission:Impossible" to launch the challenge of upgrading passenger services on the WCML. The rest of the fleet was quickly repainted into the new livery.

In 2002, new Class 390 Pendolino electric multiple units started to enter service. These 9-car units were built to replace VT locomotive-hauled trains from the WCML. The first locomotives to be replaced were the elderly Class 86/2 and some of the more unreliable Class 87 locomotives. However, since the VT Class 90 fleet was relatively small and subsequently non-standard, it was decided to retain the larger Class 87 fleet. Therefore, from March 2004, VT started to replace its Class 90 fleet, with the locomotives being transferred to the new 'one' franchise. The final service operated by a Virgin-liveried Class 90 was on 27th August 2004, when 90015 worked a London Euston-Glasgow Central and return service. Also see: 2002 (number). ... Class 390 no. ...

However, Virgin still operates Class 90 locomotives (hired from EWS) frequently on weekdays between Manchester Piccadilly and Birmingham New Street, calling at Stockport, Macclesfield, Stoke, Stafford and Wolverhampton in between. The Class 90 locomotives can still operate this route because a negligible amount of time is lost in comparison to a Virgin Voyager, and also there is a slight shortage of the newer Virgin Voyager trains. A Class 220 Voyager at Bristol. ...


Since the loss of Pendolino 390033 in the Grayrigg derailment Virgin West Coast was forced to hire a class 90 from EWS to cover along with WB64 MK3 set. It is expected this set will stay in service until the pendolino is repaired and returned to service. However Virgin West Coast are using another Class 90 hired along with DRS's MK3 charter set to train Virgin West Coast driver on northern sections of the WCML were the set is to operate on Virgin West Coast's London Euston-Edinburgh services.


Trivia

One Class 90, 90039, inadvertently became the first of its class to visit Wales, when it was accidentally left attached to the front of a Birmingham to Holyhead loco-hauled service operated by Virgin Trains on June 25, 2005. The 90 was dragged along the North Wales Coast main line as far as Llandudno Junction, where its presence was finally noticed and the train terminated, with 90039 being dumped in the station yard. At the present time, Network Rail has not formally certified the Class 90s as being within the infrastructure loading gauge for the North Wales Coast main line (in reality, they can go anywhere a Pendolino can go), and the type is banned west of Chester.[citation needed] This article is about the country. ...
