Gaspard de la Nuit (Treasurer of the Night)
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92023 (formerly named Ravel, whose famous works include Gaspard de la Nuit) races south past Moore Lane with the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16).
The overnight service was running 23 Early at this point and was 30 Early by the time it reached Winsford, however Crewe Box held it for half an hour outside Crewe to allow what must've been a very important light engine to go into Platform 6 and change ends...?!
A revised timetable was in operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with two trains running in each direction - one to Inverness and Fort William and the other to Edinburgh - meaning no services to Aberdeen or Glasgow Central.
In summary, the uplifted timetable has a Load 14 Highlander serving Inverness (x8) and Fort William (x6) and a Load 8 Lowlander serving Edinburgh only; along with 6 extra coaches being moved as ECS on the Lowlander in each direction twice per week (Southbound Sunday and Wednesday / Northbound Monday and Thursday) to rotate units for maintenance.
