Well captured footage. Funny, looks like class 68 and class 92 had a baby and this is the result. Like I feel when class 92 came out, it was an electric version of a class 60, saying that both were built by Brush.

Really glad to see the 93 starting to be put on the mainline. As much as I like the class 66 and as good and reliable as they are; there are numerous routes that class 66's and 37's do everyday 100% under over head lines. Can't wait to see more electrics on the network!

Lovely colour, certainly better than most of the liveries today. I don't want to go down the political rabbit hole here but the only thing I will say that it's sad that Britain who once was a great manufacturer nation now has to get things built overseas be it the EU or elsewhere.. No doubt some company accounts are pleased at how many cans of beans they saved.

Looks awesome, they’ve ruined 37901 by slapping that awful white sticker on the sides though

What is the intent of this loco, as it seems there are many TOC's in the UK which seen to use mases of various built different loco's. There is plenty of other available traction which is under used than to buy, operate and maintain another version. It makes no sense these days in the UK why with all this private ROC's which we know doesn't work. We need to go back to when it was controlled by one body and a few type of locomotives to run what we need.
