Welcome to your new look Class 90 Electric Loco Group website.This website has been simplified and brought up to modern technological standards. It has many of the features seen with its predecessor, such as the reporting of daily gen, news articles, history and current fleet status. Unfortunately certain elements of the older design have been discontinued with this update, but similar functionality may be reinstated at some point in the future as the new website grows in size and functionality and as I grapple with the software program, which has been used to build the website. The website is dedicated to the British Rail (BR) built Class 90 electric locomotive, which was built and assembled in Crewe between 1985 and 1990. Please feel free to browse the many webpages of information that has been built up since the original website was first launched back in 2009 and continues as part of the updates in 2024 and beyond. Lastly, the layout, features, functionality, logo, website name, and design may change slightly as the new look website takes shape. I will add more quick links to make things easier to find in due course too. Unfortunately, the website is currently only compatible with desktop interfaces, but I shall see if there is a way making it compat-ible with other devices such as mobiles and tablets. However, this may involve extra work in the background to make this happen
