Couperin with The Clays

Running 37 minutes early, 92044 leads 6S94 05:12 Wembley European Freight Operations Centre to Irvine Caledonian Paper into Carlisle with 66729 dead in tow.

This working originates in Belgium, with a locomotive from the continent bringing the Nacco ICA wagons down to Frethun Yard. 2 Class 92s then come through the Channel Tunnel to collect them and take them back through to Dollands Moor. At DM, one of the Class 92s is removed and a Class 66 is put on the front to take the train to WEFOC with the remaining 92 DIT. The locomotives are then swapped around, with the 92 brought up DIT leading the train to Carlisle Yard where it is removed from the consist completely, allowing the 66 to lead the tanks up the Glasgow South Western to Irvine.

The return working is a bit more straight forward: The 66 brings the tanks back to Carlisle Yard and uncouples before (usually) heading east to Tyne Yard. The 92 returns to the yard after being stabled in the station to lead the tanks back to Dollands Moor (via WEFOC) on its own.
