Daresbury Dyson at Dawn

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92014 passes Daresbury 75 Late with the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16).

 

It was one of those nights on the Beds - aside from 1S27, everything else suffered significant delays and/or cancellations mostly due to infrastructure issues caused by some biblical electrical storms, although 1M12 was cancelled due to a stock fault.

 

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.
