Keep an eye on what appears on RTT for May 23.
What a tease! I would suggest that Birmingham New Street would be a good option for a lot of places, I would certainly use such a stop.

Well, if so, from a purely personal standpoint, I hope it can be delivered without detriment to the timings in London.What a tease! I would suggest that Birmingham New Street would be a good option for a lot of places, I would certainly use such a stop.

Issue with the 92 not providing full power?Realtime Trains | 1S26 2142 London Euston to Edinburgh | 02/01/2023

Credit where it’s due for trying to keep the service going through the blockade, but not the more inauspicious start to 2023 ….

Is there a particular date that you want to travel?Hi all,
I try to get my head around the sleeper timetable.
https://www.sleeper.scot/timetable/london-glasgow/ states, that it leaves Euston at 23.50. If I want to book, it only states one leaving 21.34. If I have a look into RTT, only the 23.50 can be found.
What is the solution for this?
Regards
Daniel
All of this week it leaves at 23.30 / 23.50.It is the 16th May 2023.
I didn't find any date where it leaves at 23.50/23.30 so I assume, these are all routed via ECML?
The issue is that the EST from mainland/BRUX will arrive 21.57, so this means either flying in (if 21.30) or taking a rest in the sleeper (23.50)
I've seen it at around £55 (with Railcard). That was Aberdeen-London. I don't know if there are other price bands, all I've seen from memory is £36, ~£55 and sold outA question for those more familiar with the sleeper; I am potentially looking at booking a Euston to Fort Bill return around mid February, 18th to 21st being possible dates, to attend a climbing trip a friend is doing for his birthday. The current seated one way fare is £36.30 (w/ a 16-25 RC) with 4 tickets supposedly still at that price. Does anyone know by how much the next price band rises? And how quickly would one expect those prices to climb?
Not always at the Northern end. It was changed when the stock was switched from Mark 3s to Mark 5s. As you say, the Inverness portion used to the South end going north.Boarded the Highlander tonight from Euston. Has the Inverness portion always been at the northern end at London? (Inverness - Fort William - Aberdeen tonight).
(I could swear in the past its been at the southern end but it's been a few years since I've done the Highland sleeper)
That's interesting, thank you!I've seen it at around £55 (with Railcard). That was Aberdeen-London. I don't know if there are other price bands, all I've seen from memory is £36, ~£55 and sold out
Must make it harder at Edinburgh considering the Inverness part is meant to be the first outNot always at the Northern end. It was changed when the stock was switched from Mark 3s to Mark 5s. As you say, the Inverness portion used to the South end going north.
The switch was made because the Edinburgh portion always works the Inverness portion.
Not really. The train is split, the 92 draws the train further down the platform and the Inverness locomotives back onto the train via the scissors crossover. Once the Inverness portion has gone, the Fort William shunting can happen.Must make it harder at Edinburgh considering the Inverness part is meant to be the first out
The train reverses in Edinburgh, so out of Euston it used to be 90/92 - FW - ABD - INV, the 67 would then draw the inverness portion off the rear and then be off once the tail lamp had been attached.Must make it harder at Edinburgh considering the Inverness part is meant to be the first out
Reminds me of thisIt might be that the train was lightly loaded so by putting all the guests together in one coach they free up the other berths for seated passengers given upgrades if the seated coach was out of action?
Loco issues Caldew Junction, reset done and away.Anybody know why the Highlander lost nearly an hour north of Carlisle this morning?
