Days Are Drawing In
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92018 powers the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) through Acton Bridge as dawn breaks on the first day of August in what has been a very odd year. Six weeks after the summer solstice and there's now only just enough light on clear and bright mornings to capture 1M16 through Cheshire at around 05:00.
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.
