Second Time Lucky
Having not quite made it in time when GBRf-liveried 92043 last presented itself on the Highlander (on 12 July ) this time I made it to the intended spot at Acton Bridge.
A 26 minute delay at this point helped with the light, if not the prompt delivery of the Caledonian Sleeper guests to their destination - the train ended up an hour late into Euston having got caught up in the morning "traffic" on the southern WCML Slows, which tends to happen if 1M16 misses its slot from Crewe.
