It should be repainted in Balfour Beatty livery
WNXX says they're being repainted into BB livery at Bristol Barton Hill by Arriva Traincare.
I’ve seen a picture of 901 nearing completion today (not mine to share unfortunately!). Looking very smart. Not the first time there has been one in these colours though. Hopefully they will head back up north at a reasonable time of day so I can see the end result in person.

Reportedly going to be traction for Balfour Beatty's drain cleaning train, which is based at Rutherglen. This has previously used a pair of redundant dynamic track stabilisers as motive power.

I forgot to upload these photo's when 20901 & 20905 were getting a repaint at Barton Hill.
Photo shows 20901 waiting to go in the shed for a repaint.
Photo shows a class 20 getting prepped for painting (probably 20905 as it is facing the opposite direction to 20901)

And 20901 has discs on the cab, rather than a headcode box
