Waving Goodbye to Berlioz?
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92033 (formerly named "Berlioz") heads through Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16).
033 had suffered wheelflats on its latest run to Scotland and with its wheels nearing the end of the useful life, the engine could now be in need of some new boots.
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.
