Thank you to fellow YouTuber, Eagle eyed Rail enthusiast and friend ‪@Tug500‬ for allowing me to share his footage of the DB90s but also his updates. You're a star !!!

DB Cargo Class 90's 90029 and 90035 on their way down to Daventry DIRFT to relieve one of the active pairs, possibly 90020 & 90021.

90029, the second of the two reliveried into Grand Central colours and subsequently debranded after Grand Central's plan to operate push pull services from Blackpool North to London Euston were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I have nicknamed this trio "Bumblebee" due to their bee like colours and are numbered 1, 2 and 3, relating to the order they were painted, 90026 being the first, so "Bumblebee1", 90029 the second so "Bumblebee2" and 90020 the third so "Bumblebee3".

90039 was due to be the fourth but these plans were changed and it subsequently gained the eye catching Backbone livery, a livery copied from DB Cargo's German division, seen here being liveried onto their equivalent Vectron Class loco:

90039 followed suit and this video was released by DB Cargo UK following the work to relivery their DB90:

   • I am the backbone of the economy.  


90021 was set to be the fifth DB90 into "Bumblebee" Grand Central colours but the overhauling work to get it ready for a return for traffic was initially postponed before this restarted ahead of it becoming the second DB90 to wear Malcolm colours, seen below, footage courtesy of Malcolm Group:

As for 90035, on leaving Toton TMD for new DB Cargo red colours, 90035 was promptly dispatched to Swindon to work on the testing work for the Great Western Electrification project, following this, the red Skoda was sent to Leicester for similar work on assisting the readiness of the Midland Mainline electrification project. 90035 was then returned to Crewe, seen here, below, being brought back to Crewe with two DB67s, thank you to Rachel and Shaun of @The Angel Of Crewe for the below footage:

90035 then had some readiness overhaul ahead of a return to normal duties such as MALCOLM workings and has been a regular there on in.
