All Class 86s have been stood down from use once again and probably isn't temporarily this time. They have all been placed in one large line at Crewe Basford Hall.
90015 has been repainted in G & W Orange at Crewe LNWR. It retains its "City of Chelmsford" nameplates.
Last night 70017 was tasked with moving a heavy Jumbo Trial with 66620 dead in tow and 39 loaded Wagons massing over 3600 Tonnes and 600 Metres long. The working was 6Z88 21:21 Tunstead Sidings to Wembley Complex Terminal and it was deemed successful given it arrived at the London hub over an hour early.
I managed to catch the interesting rare move at my local;

90048 has repainted in Orange to mark the end of an era for the original Grey Freightliner Livery.

Afaik only 90011, 90012 and 90013 remain in White now.
A new service from Lawley St (Birmingham) to Seaforth is operating this week, the number of routes from/to Seaforth seems to be increasing almost each month now
