Real Time Trains (RTT) is reporting the KGX departure @ 07h17 this morning of an Edinburgh service passing through Sleaford at 0900. Is this another Ghost Train that occasionally appears on this programme?

It's 1Z05, some sort of private charter (formed of the DBS company train??) taking rather longer than most to get to Edinburgh.

I wonder why it didn't use the Sleaford avoiding line as that's now open?

I didn't know what route it would take through/bypass Sleaford, so I stationed myself at Ruskington where I enjoyed the unit passing at some speed!

RTT is very unclear on routeings through/via SLR...the same thing happened with the Middleton/Goole Sand train.
