R30451 Hornby Class 91 Bo-Bo Electric Locomotive number 91 130 "Lord Mayor of Newcastle" - LNER - Era 11

Entering service as 91030 in January 1991, this locomotive was originally named ‘Palace of Holyrood House’. It lost its name following privatisation of BR in 1997, when it was put into GNER colours, but in September 2001 was given the name ‘City of Newcastle’ and renumbered 91130 following refurbishment by Adtranz. However, by 2004 the name had been removed. Under Virgin Trains East Coast, it was named ‘Lord Mayor of Newcastle’ from December 2016. A new livery of LNER red and white was applied when the franchise changed hands in 2018 and the name retained. The locomotive is still in operational condition.
