Viewed from the footbridge across the platforms partway down the station, 86101 is visible on the empty stock of the Highland Caledonian Sleeper in platform 1 at London King's Cross. 86101 will work 5M16, the empty stock move to Wembley Inter City Depot, as far as Hornsey Down Slow No.2, where the train reverses and 90047, currently dead on the rear of the train, will take over. The diversion of Caledonian Sleeper services over the East Coast Main Line, away from the normal routing via the West Coast Main Line, was due to engineering works relating to the re-modelling at Norton Bridge. Note that the Class 91 locomotive-hauled train in platform 2 has a clear departure signal via Line 'B'.
