Introduction
The Class 90s have been involved with many charters and railtours during their 35 year history, which has included excursions,
football/Rugby specials and other privately run trains. Some of the special services that have run in the past, have travelled via
or over new routes, lines and destinations that the fleet hadn’t been too before. For example, Stanstead Airport (90137) and Ayr
(90149) to name but a few of the rarities.
2025 Railtour & Charter Calendar
No known charters or railtours at the time of posting (9/11/25).
Future Routes and Destinations
There are a number of routes across the UK, which have recently been electrified or is in process of being wired. This includes
GWML from London Paddington, parts of Yorkshire, the Midland Mainline (MML) north of Bedford, Longbridge to Bromsgrove
and several lines in Scotland. It is unclear if a Class 90 will ever see action on the newly electrified routes or upcoming ones.
The latest new route visited by a Class 90 on a charter train took place in 2022 between Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley
involving 90001 and 90002 owned by LSL.
Other Information
As the new look website develops, more information will be added to this page. Things to look out for in the future will be special
charter train reports and an archive of when charters and railtours operated and with which locomotive(s) but this is subject to
information being available.
