Waiting for the Road

Having been stored by SNCF in February 2006 and reinstated back into traffic by GB Railfreight on 2 July 2019, Class 92, 92 006, worked its first active duties on the night of 2/3 August. Having worked the ECS for the Caledonian Sleeper Lowlander into Euston the prior evening, it then stayed the night in the Middle Sidings (adjacent to Platform 15) before running round to work the morning ECS move back to Wembley (5M11).

 

92 020 was on the other end having brought 1M11 south from Glasgow, meaning both reinstated Class 92s were Top 'n' Tailing a train together for the first time since being brought back into use. With over 31 years in store between them, this represents an investment of around £4m by GBRf in their 92 fleet.

 

In this photo, 92006 has coupled up to the Mk5 stock and is waiting time prior to taking the stock back to Wembley.
