90041: Why is never on the Sleeper?

[rich36]

anyone know why 90041 doesn't seem to work the sleepers

Its too busy on containers with 90046. But I don't think its worked since it came back to service end of last year I believe.

think your right as haven't noticed it on sleeper duty since before last summer when it was u/s in leeds

Also don't forget that the Caledonian Sleeper is a GBRF 92 operation under the wires, so there are only a few chances for a 90 to work the services when they are hired in to cover for missing 92s - it may just be as simple as always being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yes I saw it on Coatbridge-DIRFT today.

Yes that's true I have only ever had the Up Highland once and it was 90045 back in 2016 so less chance of a 92 but it would nice as I haven't had a class 92 yet.
