Freshly Rounded Wheels

You can't always have lovely sunrise - in fact most mornings it's been distinctly overcast during the mid-summer spell when it's light enough to capture the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) in Cheshire.

 

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92014 - fresh from a visit to the lathe at Craigentinny the day before - was in charge of 1M16 as it blazed through Hartford with the odd tone added for good measure.

 

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.
