Lurking in the Shadows
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020's rheo brake fans shatter the Sunday night quiet at Crewe station as she arrives with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
Meanwhile lurking in the shadows, Avanti West Coast Class 390 "Pendolino" 390138 sits in Platform 5 having arrived with 1M87 20:08 Glasgow Central to Crewe. The EMU would then form 5H87 23:46 Crewe to Longsight Carriage Maintenance Depot.
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.
