Introduction & Background


During the 35 year history of the class 90s, several charters, railtours, excursions, footex’s and other private trains have been run, with new routes and lines being explored, often for the first time and in some cases never been repeated. For example, Pathfinder ran a railtour on the 11th September 1999 involving 90150 from Warrington Bank Quay to Birmingham International.
