DBS
DBS provide Class 90 traction for the Caledonian Sleeper which operates between Edinburgh/Glasgow Central and London Euston.
Two Class 90s operate the Glasgow Sleeper, one north and one south. The Glasgow to Euston Sleeper has vehicles added at Carstairs, from Edinburgh. The Northbound detaches the Edinburgh coaches at Carstairs also.
One Class 90 operates the ECS from Polmadie to Edinburgh, then hauls the Edinburgh portion to Carstairs to join the Glasgow portion, as mentioned above. The loco waits at Carstairs to take the Edinburgh portion off the Glasgow Sleeper, going north. After arrival back at Edinburgh, the 90 works the beds back to Polmadie.
The other 2 Class 90 locos operate the Inverness/Aberdeen/Fort William Sleeper between Euston and Edinburgh. One Northbound and one Southbound. During the day one of the 90s can usually be found stabled in the old motorail bay at Edinburgh.
A dedicated fleet of 5 Class 90 locomotives are currently being prepared for use on the Sleeper and are being painted into Barbie livery. At the moment any EWS Class 90 will operate the sleeper.
