Delayed and Dark
After leaving Euston 90 Late, Freightliner Class 90, 90045 (on hire to GB Railfreight) hammers through the gloom of Winsford having recovered somewhat to 59 Late. Running at 100 mph to make up time, the Down Caledonian Sleeper Highlander (1S25) ultimately arrived in Inverness 5 Early.
I'd ordinarily capture 1S25 at the much brighter Hartford, however with the late sleeper being perilously close to the 0100 blackout there, I opted for Winsford instead where the lighting is nowhere near as good. I was informed by the driver later that the lights were still on at Hartford!
