Hartford Headlights

A sparkling clean GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 (formerly named "Debussy") heads through Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).

 

With the recent stormy weather conditions the GB 92s (and Mk5 stock) on the sleeper have looked decidedly dirty, but having just come off a B Exam at Wembley, 043 was once again looking very presentable.

 

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.
