The lease now runs up to Summer 2023, with an extension possible to Summer 2024.

This extension includes ten Class 91 locomotives, including 91101 ‘Flying Scotsman’, 91107 ‘Skyfall’, 91109 ‘Sir Bobby Robson’, 91110 ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’, 91111 ‘For The Fallen’, 91114 ‘Durham Catherdral’ and 91130 ‘Lord Mayor of Newcastle’.

An additional two Class 91 locomotives are expected to be contracted, providing LNER with five spare locomotives.

Eversholt has also awarded Wabtec with a contract to complete overhauls of the LNER IC225 fleet at their Doncaster facility.

The locomotives will receive a G exam, which includes an overhaul of their bogies, gearboxes, wheelsets, cardan shafts, compressors and traction motors. A number of improvements are also planned to be completed.
