The Night Before Christmas
A London Northwestern Class 350/1 EMU leaves Hartford with the last train (2K99) from Liverpool having dropped off Christmas revellers, as the Caledonian Sleeper Highlander Service (1S25) heads north.
Freightliner Class 90s, 90 041 and 90 043 - on hire to GBRf for the sleeper services - lead 1S25 in a relatively rare double-header for the Beds. 90041 had departed Euston powering the service alone with 90043 Dead In Train (DIT) as part of a loco move, but after 90041 developed issues, 90043 was powered up at Watford and was doing the work thereafter with 90041 acting as a glorified DVT.
