Mainstay Saint Saëns

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92028 (formerly named "Saint Saëns") blazes through Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25). Belying its chequered past on the sleeper, 028 is currently the mainstay of the fleet and worked almost 10,000 miles in September - by far the most of all the GB 92s for that month.

 

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.
