Description
Filmed whilst travelling as a seated passenger from London to Fort William, the process of splitting the northbound "Highlander" Caledonian Sleeper into the 3 portions that carry on to Inverness, Fort William and Aberdeen. Early hours of 21st June 2018.

The part of the process where the Fort William 'day coaches' are added is not seen in this video (because I can only film in one place at once!) but you can now see this in a separate video:
