Ravel Ready
GBRf Class 92, 92 023 (formerly named Ravel) waits in the sultry heat at Euston preparing to take the 1S25 Caledonian Sleeper Highlander service north. The heat was such that despite 92023 being stationary, the distinctive fans which give the 92s their "Dyson" nickname were already working hard.
The shot shows how the 16-coach Sleeper only just fits in Platform 1 when it has a 92 at each end. 023 sits just beyond the starting signal, whilst over 400m away at the other end the ECS engine (043) is right up against the block.
[A brief clip of the fans can be seen here.]
