A photograph 2 years in the making, I had found the location north of Corrour high up in the West Highlands, the only time sunlight is visible on the sleeper in the evening here is for a week around the summer solstice. After three attempts I finally managed to get the perfect shot with the highland mountain ranges in the background. The Mk5 Coaches catch the final 5 minutes of light as the sleeper lead by 66740 'Sarah' snakes its way south toward London.
