I love the look of the proposed new seats! Like airline first class (almost)
92 010 on 1S25 and 90 016 on 1S26
86101 possibly on the Down Lowlander tonight (TOPS info, so TBC!)
...that said the Highlander ECS 5S95 (which it's showing as being on) hasn't left Wembley yet 25 mins after scheduled departure, so perhaps a(nother) change of plan on the cards.
There was an earlier 0Z86 from Mossend to Carigentinny. Which could add fuel to the fure
...excitement over. 90016 just gone in with 5S95 Highlander ECS in the end, so likely to be doing 1S26 Lowlander later.
I thought for a moment we might have been getting a DBC Shed!
016 on tops list as of 14:10 this afternoon.
Wrong end of the country though to impact whatever's going on at Wembley I reckon... talking of which 5S95 is moving now (30 Late)
0Z86 has been Activated, but not running yet it would seem, so not sure if it's a goer. Possibly 86401 as that's been in Mossend for a few weeks now awaiting repair and has been showing as "T" (awaiting Transfer to depot) on TOPS last few days, so might be heading to Craigentinny to be looked at.
Still?The 86 is currently at the buffer end of P1 in Euston.
Was on the seats from Euston to Inverness last night. Seated coach 'wrong' way round, left from Platform 15 - is that usual last time I was on it sure we left from the other end of the station. 47749 City of Truro between the seats and 67 leading on arrival to Inverness.

I don't like the fact when you are a solo traveller you will be barred from being able to 'share' a berth with a stranger on the new stock, so the only option will be a solo berth (or the seats).

No!!! You mean the airline first class style seat ideas are being ditched?
It's not a blessing to have the choice of doing it or not removed. Some people are fine with it, especially if it makes a berth rather than a seat affordable.That’s a blessing! Sharing a “bedroom” with a stranger is horrid on so many levels!
Not a good night for the bed’s 1S25 cxl at Wbq http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O35733/2017/10/17/advanced to get the stock back to London.
1S26 Cxl at Eus, southbound’s cxl at Glc & Edb.
Due to WCML being closed in both directions near Lockerbie after 1M87 (Virgin Pendolino 390148) hit a tree.
From what I can gather the passengers are still on the respective trains using them as hotels for the night where applicable (including "1Z25" - which will mean they find themselves pulling into Euston in the early hours and not the Highlands...)
1M16 cancelled at Waverley to add to the 'full house'.
Fort William and Aberdeen portions not being attached and passengers asked to vacate by 03:30 (presumably so stock can run back north).
All other passengers (Lowlanders still at sat at Glasgow, Edinburgh and Euston and 1S25/1Z25 returning to Euston) can remain on the trains and use them as 'hotels'.
Passengers in Edinburgh can use their tickets on the 05:40, 05:48 or 06:26 Edinburgh to Kings Cross services.
Those in Glasgow can use the 06:50 to Kings Cross.
Those in Euston can use the 06:15 or 07:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh services (and then any Scotrail connection to Glasgow if needed).
