EDINBURGH to GLASGOW | Freightliner 90045 & Diverted Caledonian Sleeper *RARE*

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, "RachaelMatt" 1080p HD! *PLEASE READ* Due to recent adverse weather the West Coast Mainline causing substantial damage to a viaduct the line has been closed north of Carlisle. As well as this again due to severe flooding the Highland Mainline north of Perth towards Inverness has also been shut for several weeks while repairs take place. So with all these problems taking place Caledonian Sleeper have been left with quite a task getting their trains to & from the Scottish highlands. They've been diverting down the East Coast Mainline but during the weekend of filming (9th & 10th Jan) the line between Darlington & Newcastle was planned to be closed for essential engineering so Virgin East Coast services would be diverting via the Durham coast & through Sunderland station. With all this trouble and the fact they had sleeper sets stuck north and not enough in London the highland sleeper was cancelled this night (Friday 8th) and passengers like us were told to join the lowland sleeper to Edinburgh for a replacement bus further north. Well instead of that we thought it'd be a better idea to stay on the sleeper through to Glasgow for more mileage behind the Freightliner 90! Some beautiful snowy & foggy scenes across Scotland as we make our way across from East to West. Also not to mention some incredible arcing coming from the pantograph of 90045! This often happens in sub zero temperatures where moisture & frost form on the overhead wires, creates some incredible visual effects. This is quite a rare move, the sleeper services usually divide at Carstairs so to have a class 90 hauling all 16 coaches of the sleeper from Edinburgh all the way across to Glasgow is something that really doesn't happen often.
