Pitlochry
On 8th April, 67023 was used by GBRf on the Highland Sleeper for the first time travelling north to Inverness in the morning and returning with the southbound service that night. Still in debranded Colas livery from its days on Network Rail test trains, 67023 is seen southbound at Pitlochry. Although 67s were regularly used with MkIII sleeper coaches (46922), I understand the loco will need to be fitted with Dellner couplings and the ETS has to be modified to work directly with the MkV coaches and 73966 was coupled inside and providing ETS. 67023 will probably be reliveried when the modifications take place. Postscript: The return trip the following morning reverted to the more usual 66/7 and 73 combination.
