Not Quite 87

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92018 hammers through Acton Bridge at 85 mph with the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) looking to recover a delay incurred earlier in its journey. The service arrived at Preston 23 Late, but made it into Euston half a minute early.

 

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.
