Six Week Hiatus Over

Out on her first main trunk run in over six weeks, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92028 powers the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander through Acton Bridge.

 

028 had been sidelined at Wembley with a series of niggles and then was restricted to ECS duties between the depot and Wembley until she proved herself ready for Class 1 action again.

 

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.
