I don't understand, if they had cancelled the train then fair enough but they had another loco stand in that could do the job, what is the problem?
To anyone else its a train.
I should think that the majority of passengers will notice when their train arrives at it's destination between one and two hours late, as last nights' Highland sleeper has done this morning. This could cause quite a problem for any passengers with onward travel connections to make, or those with time critical business appointments to keep.
Also note that the southbound "Lowland" sleeper
was cancelled at Milton Keynes this morning, at which point, according to Real Time Trains, it was nearly three hours late. Presumably sleeper passengers will have had to make onward connections from there in order to reach London at all.
Strange that I can't see any mention of either of these events on the Caledonian Sleepers' twitter feed - Would have at least expected some disgruntled passengers to pass comment.

1S25 was 'only' 70 late at Inverness / 77 late Aberdeen / 111 Fort Bill...
Looks like Fort William passengers won't have arrived at their destination until almost lunchtime (11:46).
hock:
I thought it might, but not this soon!
