Debussy Diversion
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 043 (formerly named "Debussy") powers north through Goostrey station with a Caledonian Sleeper Mk3/Mk2 stock move from Wembley to Polmadie (5S01).
With 92043 now converted to 1500V ETS for the Mk5s along with nine of its classmates, this was a rare opportunity in recent times to see it with the old stock. The move was part of a swap to balance the mileage on the remaining old stock - the corresponding move happened two nights previously and was also Class 92-hauled.
The working ran on a diversionary route via Manchester and Chat Moss rather than directly down the WCML due to major engineering work at Acton Grange Junction (near Warrington).
