Debussy at Daresbury
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 (formerly named "Debussy") leads the delayed Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander through Daresbury.
The southbound beds were 28 Late at this point, having been 73 Late at one stage leaving Perth due to a major signalling fault south of the Scottish city. This meant the relief driver had to make the 45 minute dash from Stirling - where he was due to take the train forward from - to Perth instead, then take M16 round the Fife Circle instead of the booked route via Stirling and Falkirk.
A revised timetable was in operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with only the Inverness and Glasgow portions running and splitting/joining at Edinburgh to form one train in each direction on the WCML.
