I spoke too soon......! Today's 'Caledonian Sleeper' blew up again with an incredibly late arrival into London some two hours adrift! Also today, the run of smashing late summer (or is it early autumn?) weather ended with cloudy skies and cooler temperatures.

66515, 04.59 Trafford Park-Felixstowe North (4L41, 6E), Ashton Road bridge
66515 leads the 4L41 Trafford Park to Felixstowe Freightliner just south of Roade in Northamptonshire. As can be seen the sun has disappeared on this particular morning with some fog and mist taking its toll on the lighting.

92010, 20.45 Inverness & 19.50 Fort William-London Euston (1M16, 156L), Ashton Road bridge
Running over one hundred and fifty minutes late following issues in the Carstairs area as too often appears to be the case, the up Highland Sleeper passes Roade some forty minutes from its destination at Euston. I have travelled on various sleepers but never one running this late. I wonder when this situation occurs if guests are permitted to stay in their cabins for the extra time or if they are woken and asked to vacate at the expected normal time of arrival...advise?
