Old Timers
With all ten of the GB Railfreight Class 92s with CAF mods to work the new Mk5 stock configured to 1500V ETS, hired-in traction is being used to work the Caledonian Sleeper Highlander whilst it remains the old Mk2/Mk3 stock (900V ETS).
With the Mk5s finally expected to be rolled-out in September, the end of Class 86s and Class 90s on sleeper workings is nigh after many years.
On the right, tatty grey Freightliner Class 90, 90047, rests with its night's work done, having hauled the Up Highlander (1M16) from Edinburgh Waverley.
On the left, AC Locomotive Group's Class 86/1, 86101 "Sir William A Stanier FRS" is just about to leave the Middle Siding and run round to the end of the stock to work the ECS move back to Wembley (5M16).
