Description
On Tuesday 22nd January, for the first time ever, Caledonian Sleepers' CAF Mark 5 coaches made a test run from Glasgow to London Euston to shadow the lowlander sleeper and test the coaches in the platform at Euston. It was an overall success, and GBRf's 92023 behaved superbly with the new coaches.
