Delayed Debussy at Daresbury
The overhead wires coming down between Preston and Wigan overnight meant both southbound Caledonian Sleepers couldn't get through. Consequently, both were cancelled at Preston with passengers detrained. They then moved forward to Leyland to wait for the repairs to be completed. This took until around 11:00 at which point both Sleepers finally headed south, line astern.
First up was the ECS from the Up Lowlander (1M11) - now running as 5M11 direct to Wembley. At the helm was GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 (formerly named "Debussy") as it headed through Norton Crossing near Daresbury.
