Caledonian Sleeper Diversions at London Kings Cross Ft. Class 87 + 92 + 90
In this video we see many different sleeper services, whereby usually the sleeper is formed of two services, 1M16 from Highlands and 1M11 from Lowlands, this day was slightly different as Kings Cross has no platforms long enough to accomodate 16 coaches. This ultimately means that the Inverness to Euston service works separately from the Fort William & Aberdeen portions. So in total there are three trains instead of the usual two, with many more locomotives needed to get the train from Kings Cross to Wembley. It's an interesting operation, and I'm glad I've finally managed to see it happen! Enjoy!
It shows the separation of services usually combined into two trains—Inverness to Euston and Fort William & Aberdeen—into three separate trains requiring additional locomotives. Locomotives including Class 87, 90, and 92 are visible, with services operating between Inverness, Fort William, Aberdeen, Euston, London King's Cross, and Doncaster. The footage highlights the logistical adjustments made to accommodate the sleeper trains under these conditions.
