Before The Lights Came On

With the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) running 30 minutes early through Winsford, largely due to additional Sunday night engineering timing allowances, the station lights were not on for another c.10 minutes.

 

Consequently, an "interesting" shot of GB Railfreight Class 92, 92028 running through in the dark - illuminated only slightly by the waiting room lights, which are left on or security purposes.

 

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.
