Green liveried 47522 Doncaster Enterprise, takes the Euston-Inverness Sleeper north through the Dunblane Laighills at 5.30 a.m. one morning in June 1988. This was a long and heavy train, carrying cargo such as newspapers as well as sleeping passengers. To obtain a similar photo today of the much shorter and faster Caledonian Sleeper, one would need to knock on someone's door and ask to stand in their kitchen at 5.15 a.m!
