It’s going to become a bit more common over the next year, as Euston rebuilds continue.

 

i has a great morning at KX in May... only 1 full sleeper fits at KX, so the other runs as 2 portions...

in the space of 4 hours, I saw 3 in bound sleepers, 3 in bound Light Engines, 3 out bound ECS and 3 Wembley bound reversals.. 

 

It’s all history, already...

If you’ve got any pictures of the 92s or sleepers feel free to post them. Would be good to see

I’ve followed the sleeper several times this year, starting with an overnight last September, riding it in January, seeing the KX diversions, 86401 and 87002’s last stand at Euston, and just the other week up in Inverness...

 

Here’s a few...

 

Also during half half term week I took my little one to Scotland, and saw the first loaded Azuma test in Inverness, inbetween CS shunting moves and a general shed sort out that was going on, you can see close ups of how the Dellners are set up and coupled here on the mark 5’s..

86101 been in the news of late here she is being dragged dead by 92038 on 1M11 2350 Glasgow/Edinburgh - Euston on March 3rd 2016. The 92 worked forward from Abington loop and is seen passing Old Linslade somewhat late!

 

cheers

92020 on pilot duties at Glasgow on Tuesday night with 93038 at Euston after hauling 1M11 2340 Glasgow - Euston south. Due to the landslip at Weaver Jn 1M11 went via Manchester adding an extra 50 miles to the journey but due to the relaxed timings still arrived early into Euston.

My first travels on the new mk5 stock and I thought it was quite pleasant. I had a bunk cabin to myself and there's nothing particularly different about them compared to the design of the mk3 berth. The lounge car felt more cold and clinical to me but there was more seating which is a positive.

Yes, only 3 and I realise I forgot to get one of the lounge car (must have been too focused on the tipple.) Someone else has put a picture on flickr though https://tinyurl.com/rr4u4ao

 

The corridors, narrow but with the big picture windows which will no doubt be great for admiring the Highlands from.

 

The doors are key car entry, like a hotel, of the type that you have to tap against the lock (rather than insert into a slot). Inside the berth:

 

 

One of the little quirky features I liked the most here was the mat/material they put on the lower bunk for you to place your bag on. It was always a little frustrating if you had a roller bag trying not to get muck on the linen as soon as you'd entered!

With it being modern stock it is also kitted out with plenty of USB charging points and a couple of 3 pin sockets. There are also little places to put devices that are charging so they're not perched precariously somewhere in the berth. A tiny negative and this is really pedantic but the ladder is fixed to the bed, the old ladders came away and that allowed you a little more room to spread out in bed or have your elbows outside of the profile of the mattress.

 

Finally at the end of the corridor they have these rather fancy looking screens:

 

Like all modern stock the door alarms make a noise designed to be audible for the hard of hearing, as I was in the berth at the end of the corridor they were also fairly audible in bed!  The toilet right next to the berth was no bother but is smaller than the old offerings so you have to be a bit of a contortionist to get in them!

I have just come across this link thing in rmweb... having watched Rachel on YouTube with her various Cally sleeper into Crewe videos, Rachel @Mini Wistaston junction ... this would be a great place to add some of your Dyson pictures and footage pet, wouldn't it? I think when I finally gry round to getting my first Accurascales class 92, the transitionary EWS three beasties logo'd grey 92 is the one I will have, that will be perfect for Johnson Street IEMD.

A couple from me. My least favourite class of loco, but worthy of photography nonetheless.

 

 

25/7/14 92 016 at Eden Valley loop.

 

 

30/06/2006. 92 022 in the Up bay at Warrington Bank Quay.

 

 

30/06/2006. 92 022 heading north with log carrying wagons. Don't know the reporting number or destination of this service. 

 

Somewhere near Lichfield Trent Valley ( I forget where exactly), waiting at a red due to a track circuit failure ahead. Although not a complete view, it does give some idea of the cab layout of these god awful things. 

 

Was the top

I've heard of forced perspective, but that is round the wrong way.

The loco and track gauge come to that, appears bigger towards the left, at least on my screen.....

92010 at the head of 1S25 on the evening of 23rd August. Whilst not the clearest shot of the loco the sky/sunset was stunning with some interesting colours on the OLE.

Happened to be in Kent on Friday heading to Brands Hatch.  Planned to go to the observation point next to the Medway viaduct, only to find it now fenced off.

Went a bit further south, and whilst waiting for a few Eurostars, was surprised to see this pair on HS1.  92015 hauling 92019 that looks to have been in storage for a long time.
