Trouble and Strife
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92028 leads the late-running Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander service through Winsford. The service was 107 Late at this point, due initially to problems at Edinburgh, but then a further half hour delay at Preston due to OHLE over-supply issues.
It wasn't the worst affected, though - 043 failed at Preston with the Down Lowlander (1S26) due to the OHLE over-supply issues. 014, which was on the rear of 1S26, then failed as well when it was being run around to take the train forward. 1S26 eventually departed 206 Late from Preston, with 014 hauling a dead 043. To round off a night to forget for the Sleepers, the loco then failed on the Aberdeen portion (1A25) and driver issues delayed the Inverness and Fort William portions. The Up Lowlander (1M11) arrived on time at least...!
