Late Morning Milton
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.
The second of the pair of delayed Bed was the ECS from the Up Highlander (1M16) - now running as 5M16 direct to Wembley. At the helm was GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 as it headed through Norton Crossing near Daresbury.
