With the rising sun just above the horizon, 90046 is illuminated leading the Caledonian Sleeper 1M16 Highland service. Today it is running to time following the previous day's disaster with it arriving into Euston a whopping one hundred and eighteen minutes late! The CAF Mk. V stock has still yet to be introduced on the Highland service due to a number of serious technical problems so the Mk. IIIs are still in use but very much but on borrowed time. As this will be the last morning that I will be able to get out and take a photograph near home due to the lack of light, that is unless it is late again, then scenes such as this with the train passing Blisworth will be confined to history.
