Debussy Detour
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 "50 Years Service - Andy Withers" makes a rare foray into Platform 1 at Crewe with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
The earlier derailment of Freightliner's 4M63 blocking the south end of Basford Hall yard was meaning freight trains were needing to pass through the station rather than via the Independent Lines. That said, with the usual 'Plan B' Platform 12 vacant throughout - and passengers originally being directed there - it was a mystery as to why Crewe Box held 1S25 outside the station for 36 minutes, then ultimately put it into Platform 1.
