Dawn Highlander
If things had turned out as planned this would have been a Class 92 with the new Mk5 Caledonian Sleeper stock. However, the venerable Mk2 and Mk3 stock will be traipsing the rails for several more weeks on the Highlander services as CAF work on getting the Mk5s into some sort of acceptable condition.
With 10 of the GB Railfreight Class 92 fleet now fully converted to haul the new Mk5s (including 1500V ETS) Freightliner Class 90s continue to be hired-in by GB Railfreight to work the old stock (which operates at "classic" 900V).
There are currently three Skodas on hire to cover the Highlander (two main trunk runs and a spare). 90042 - one of the current incumbents - works the Up Highlander (1M16) through Acton Bridge.
