Tuesday 13th November
The 1335 Kyler failed today at around 1336 (engine, apparently), luckily still in Platform 5.
We were turfed off the 1400 in Platform 6 which formed the Kyler, which left at around 1340.
Gloom set in among the Caithnessites foregathered by the buffers. Fear not, we were told, another unit will appear.
And lo! it did, and the 1400 left on time.
That's pretty impressive in my book. I don't know what "our" set was diagrammed to do, and I guess an Invernet service may have been cancelled, but the right choice was made, and made quickly.
