Flood Disruption
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92023 passes Moore Lane with 5M16, the Wembley-bound ECS from the cancelled Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander service (1M16).
Flooding had required the closure of Old Mill of Keir viaduct at Dunblane and eventually the 73/9s had to run around and take the train to Edinburgh via Fife. After arriving at Waverley over five hours late, the service was cancelled and the stock ran as ECS to Wembley. The Fort William portion had already been cancelled due to flooding at Garelochhead.
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.
