luckymucklebackit Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) An hour south of Kenton/Harrow last Friday. 90045 Ex Glasgow sleeper chasing 66 538 90045 Harrow.jpg 86604/7 86607.4 Harrow.jpg 92018 ex Aberdeen/Fort William Sleeper 92018 harrow.jpg And for those awaiting their DJ models and looking for a train for it to pull - it was hauling SIXTEEN coaches 92018 + 16 Harrow.jpg Mike Wiltshire From the Scot-Rail Site, Sleeper Formations..... The coaches are formed into 8 coach sets. To allow maintenance at Inverness, each individual set follows a strict 8 day rotation of workings as follows: Day Headcode Working See Note 1 1M16 Inverness - Euston 2 1S26 Euston - Glasgow A 3 1C11/1M11 Edinburgh - Euston A 4 1S25/1Y11/1A25 Euston - Fort William or Aberdeen B 5 1B01/1B16/1M16 Fort William or Aberdeen - Euston B 6 1S26/1B26 Euston - Edinburgh A 7 1M11 Glasgow - Euston A 8 1S25 Euston - Inverness Notes A - On arrival at Glasgow, the coaches are cleaned and serviced at Polmadie depot. The set then works empty to Edinburgh to form that portion of the sleeper. Coaches arriving in Edinburgh in the morning are taken to Polmadie for cleaning and servicing them form the Glasgow portion of the sleeper that night. B - The Fort William and Aberdeen sets are formed slightly differently. 2 sleeper coaches are taken to Fort William, 4 to Aberdeen. A pair of lounge and brake coaches work through from London to Aberdeen while the Fort William pair stay at Edinburgh overnight.
