Sleepers move to Government control
THE Scottish Government took over control of Caledonian Sleeper services from June 25, replacing previous operator Serco.
Minister for Transport Fiona Hyslop said:“It is fitting that we recognise the successes of the staff and management at the Caledonian Sleeper who have transformed this service, and who will remain as valued members of the team. I give my reassurances that there is a continued role for them to play in the future success of the service.”
At the same time GBRf announced a new seven-year deal to provide Class 92 and 73 traction for the sleepers, which run between Euston and Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fort William, Inverness and Aberdeen on six nights a week.
