Heritage Locomotive Takeover
February 2019 and the Caledonian Sleeper Lowlander becomes the preserve of heritage A/C traction for one of the last times before the Mk5s are due to be introduced on this service (due late April 2019).
AC Locomotive Group's Class 86, 86 101 "Sir William A Stanier FRS" - on hire to GB Railfreight - stands in Glasgow Central having brought in the ECS from Polmadie (5M11). Just visible on the rear of the stock ready to work 1M11 south to Euston is fellow ACLG veteran, Class 87, 87 002 "Royal Sovereign".
