    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Good evening, can anyone advise the ID of the grey 08 currently at Garston Car Terminal? 08580 was there for a while and has since gone, 08706 in faded EWS is also there but I can't find anything about the plain grey one. Any information appreciated, thanks!

    Severe weather Saturday 7th October, some ScotRail services suspended.

    All too easy to just cancel everything these days and not even try. As if rail travel is optional for everyone, not taking into account the people who have real jobs, don't work 9-5 and can't work from home because they use their practical skills.
