Description
It was a long way to go but its a great part of the our country plus Its probably been twenty odd years since I visited this line. This Caledonian Sleeper train from London Euston to Oban is only going to run for three weekends as there is engineering work taking place on the Fort William line. This is the first time class 73s have ventured this far north and on a sleeper train to Oban, and the honours went to 73967 and 73968 working from Edinburgh. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did filming it.
