A class 73 diesel locomotive at the head of the Caledonian Sleeper
Locomotive 73966 waiting to haul the Aberdeen section of the Highland sleeper to Edinburgh. This is a dual mode electro-diesel built in the 1960s for use on the Southern Region of British Railways. The locomotive was extensively rebuilt in 2015 for use on Caledonian Sleeper services on the non-electrified highland routes.
It was anticipated that the new sleeper carriages would be introduced from April but teething problems identified during testing in Czechoslovakia will delay introduction until October.
Unfortunately, the yellow cast of the image is caused by the station ambient lighting.

Dandelions on the end of the platform, Aberdeen Station
A young child sits on the end of one of the platforms at Aberdeen Station. He/she is apparently more interested in the dandelions growing through the cracks between the paving slabs than the man on the right (presumably his/her father) and older sibling, who are waiting for the departure of the Royal Train, headed by the British Rail Class 47 on the right. On the left is a freight train headed by a British Rail Class 25.
