Meticulous Milton

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 (formerly named "Milton") heads through Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16). The gold and blue Dyson has had a good clean for its latest return trip to Scotland having run around looking decidedly grubby for the past couple of weeks.

 

Unfortunately it wasn't cleaned up in time for a railfreight publicity shoot at Mossend (PD Stirling) the previous Wednesday, although that still didn't stop it being the best-looking engine on show.

 

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.
