GB Railfreight (GBRf) has successfully completed a trial run for 99001.
They operated it from Peterborough to Doncaster, hauling the 6E86 sand train.
They ran the trial to test not only the load on this specific route but also the timings, both of which yielded positive outcomes.
Additional test runs will continue later this week across the Eastern region.
They will be continuing the Network compatibility testing with Network Rail alongside their own loaded tests.
The Class 99s will be tested for compatibility compliance in October along the Great Western, Midland and Southern mainlines.
