70015 is the 5th to be back out post lockdown. 90014 was collected from Toton yesterday in the new orange livery. 90047 has now gone down to Toton for a repaint.

This I believe leaves 90048 as the last one standing in the original Grey livery.

Do you know if any of the 86s have been retired yet, now that the 90s are in service.

As it stands;
Of the 16, 8 are in still in use:
86604, 86607, 86608, 86613, 86622, 86632, 86637, 86638.

3 are in the active pool but not in use at Crewe:
86609, 86614, 86639.

The remaining 5 are in the long term stored pool so suspect finished:
86605, 86610, 86612, 86627, 86628

As for the Ex GA 90s;
90003 has been out on light engine tests today and should be next to go to Toton for repaint with last of the original Grey machines 90048 joining it.
90011 is at Ipswich for training.
90006, 90007, 90010, 90014 are appearing regularly on Intermodal traffic to and from Scotland either as pairs or paired with an original FL example.
90004, 90005, 90008, 90009, 90012, 90013, 90015 still stored in Basford Hall awaiting repairs/ Mods etc. Once these start getting out then we'll probably see more 86s stood down.
