Freight Yard Wanderings

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 heads through the rain at Acton Bridge with the delayed Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16).

 

The overnight service was 33L at this point due to a tree falling on the OHLE near Carlisle. There was some rare track for the passengers as a result, with 1M16 diverted through Kingmoor Yard via the Up Arrival flyover and Up Goods.

 

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.
