Something that has been puzzling me for a while is to why this service departs GLC at 04:22, and not at the standard time of 05:09 like the subsequent departures do so.
Is this a throwback to a former Edinburgh Waverley - Carstairs short working?
Is this to change drivers at Carstairs for the Edinburgh portion of the sleeper?
Furthermore, this also has a huge amount of running time between GLC and Carlisle, where the normal timetable pattern is resumed. Would it be possible at some point in the future to have this departing GLC at 05:09, therefore making all southbound departures every 2 hours at approx xx09?
