context_page_description: The British Rail Class 90 electric locomotives were built by British Rail Engineering Limited at Crewe Works in 1987-1990, weighing 84.5 tonnes and with a top speed of 110 mph. They operate from 25 kV AC overhead lines and produce 5,000 bhp. The class is now employed on heavy freight trains, having previously also been used as passenger locomotives.
context_section_description: As part of the National Express East Anglia franchise bid, National Express provided a fleet plan to replace the ageing Class 86 locomotives on the Great Eastern Main Line with the more powerful and newer Class 90 locomotives, hoping this would improve performance and reduce operating cost. The Class 90s were to become available due to Virgin Trains' plan to replace all loco hauled passenger trains with Class 390 "Pendolino" units, freeing up their 15 class 90 locomotives. 90001 - 90015 were progressively delivered to Crown Point TMD to replace the Class 86s. These locomotives had their original louvered horn covers replaced with a single plate design with V-patterned holes, matching the Mark 3 DVTs.
  The National Express franchise came to an end in February 2012, with  the replacement franchisee Greater Anglia taking over and continuing to operators the locomotive.
  In 2020, the Class 745 "FLIRT" Electric multiple unit was entered service. Following the introduction of these units, the loco-hauled sets have all been withdrawn from service, with the last set running its last services on 24 March 2020. Thirteen will move to Freightliner, while the other two will go to Locomotive Services Limited.
