London North Eastern Railway’s Class 91, No. 91119, is the latest locomotive to receive a full repaint as part of its essential maintenance.
The locomotive now has had new paint work applied as well as a new swallow crest as part of its maintenance programme.
The livery is painted, and not vinyl, and features the original livery that the InterCity 225 trains wore when they entered service in 1989.
91119 will re-enter passenger service on the East Coast Main Line in due course and will join 91110 ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ and 91111 ‘For the Fallen’ in having a unique livery, whilst the rest of the LNER 91s will receive a rebrand into the LNER ‘InterCity Inspired’ livery.
The 91s run LNER services between London and Leeds / York via Peterborough, Grantham, Retford, Doncaster and Wakefield
