I take it the class 73 was on ETHAL duties but still has drive capacity? Backing up the Pullman with no mirrors, must have done it before as the train stopped well down the siding from the point works ? Must have done a some of work on the tracks as 3 axle bogie (as class 66 and the class 31 and others) did not use to go on the West Highland until the class 37. Something to do with axle load and wheelbase on the curves. In the picture of the Pullman the point work on the main line has a reverse curve on the left track through the point.

Sad that DB have lost this contract and sad that an electric point to point Intermodal service should be reduced to Class 66 haulage. Great to see that, this weekend saw the first Freightliner Class 90s deployed on MALCOLM - hopefully G&W will acquire the operational Class 90s from Team Red, beyond 90018 and 90040 which have just been snapped up.

Why does the sleeper train need the class 66 as well? When i traveled to fort William on the sleeper the class 73 was on its own and seemed fine to manage to load
@stewartatkinson41798 ай бұрын
As far as I understand, it is to do with providing train heat, as well as for assistance for getting over inclines. The class 73s can struggle in wet weather.

This set looks so cool, the 47 looks handsome, the livery is old skool but still could be released today, it looks like an InterCity only with a blue stripe. I really wish they could get their hands on a Mk3 DVT in the same colour scheme to compliment the coaches, the other cab isn't the best looking if I'm honest, but still, it's a proper British train.

MICKEY MOUSE RAILWAYS PLAYING MUPPET AGAIN ! Hilarious - Southern Region Class 73 ELECTRIC locos in Scotland ! So when did "Notwork Rail" lay in 750v DC third rails in the wilds of Scotland ? Another classic example of the idiotic Muppet railway network of Britain. If they can't even get their Logistics correct, to get a more suitable loco type for the train. As I doubt any Driver in Scotland is passed out to drive or oversee the inclusion of a Class 73 in the train !!!

Certainly a busy day for today's standards, great footage. I share your pain about delays on the Highland roads; in the summer it is getting worse, both with roadworks but also queues caused by slow drivers. Chasing trains up there for multiple shots is easy enough when you don't have these hazards, like in the evenings. I did get caught out on one occasion recently by the works at County March Summit on the A82. I have a shot of the sleeper arriving and departing the exact same spot at Helensburgh but with a 67 in charge. I am working on a documentary on my channel about the history of the line as well.
