For the next 8 weeks the Sunday night sleepers are booked via the ECML, and
the southbound ones will be due into Euston at 0720 (Lowlander) and 0928
(Highlander) on Monday mornings. They run up the ECML to Holloway, then via
Camden Road and Primrose Hill to somewhere near Willesden where they reverse
and run into Euston.
