Does anyone have any information about this Service? Is it timetabled normally, or just a one off.
This picture was taken today at 16:10 as seen by me.

Given the timing, looks like the St Patrick’s Picnic Group’s annual summer outing - see https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/scotrail-2z26-shotts-troon-service.250257/#post-6273240 from last year.

THE TRIP #98– SUPPORT PARTNERS ❤️

MASSIVE THANKS AND GRATITUDE TO SCOTRAIL

We wouldn’t be able to carry on with such a magnificent event if it wasn’t for our friends at ScotRail, they have went above & beyond to accommodate us for many year! #98 was no different!

They definitely kept us on the right TRACK..️ on more ways than one.

We are extremely grateful to ScotRail, thank you for the continued support!

I'm guessing this this isn't a public service?

 

[Whistler40145]

Is it unusual for a special to be a Class 2 service?

 

[SoloSR334022]

Yes, but it's a Z head code which is usually used for charter trains which this Service could come under.

 

[Whistler40145]

Cheers for your response

I take it it was a 158 or 170?
