This is Class 91024, which now regularly runs in service up and down the East Coast Main Line (ECML). The line-up of locomotives, under construction, started with 91022, which was almost completed. I followed a group of excited enthusiasts as they progressed along the production line, starting with 91022. They almost ran down the line eagerly writing down the numbers of each less finished than the one before. After we passed the just started 91028 I expected to see them huddled around a packet of nuts and bolts desperately searching for the number 91029.
