Six Back After Six Months Away
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92006 prepares to depart a very wet Crewe with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
This was the first time in over six months 006 had worked a Class 1 train, with the last time it worked a main trunk run on the Beds being 1S25 on 30 March 2020.
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.
