Does that imply 4 Aberdeen for the rest of the year or 3 + 3 or a mixture of both? Fort William is certainly the one which has grown whilst all the others have shrunk.In recent but pre-Covid summers the split was 4 to Fort Bill and 2 to Aberdeen.
Logic would almost dictate the Aberdeen became a portion off the Lowland as that would offer far more realistic arrival times in Fife and Dundee than present and might increase it’s custom.
Good point about Fife and Dundee, probably approaching 50% of the potential market for that portion, and still get to Aberdeen not long after ten (subject to pathing).
And into the 1980s there were still 11, and with a fair chunk of seated accommodation too.in the early 1960's there were no less than 15 Scottish sleeper services leaving London termini on most evenings
