On a recent visit to Lerwick harbour I noticed what appeared to an old concrete stop block and reference to a station on the building across the road from this block; however I could find no references on the web to any form of railway infrastructure on the Shetlands. I can therefore only...

As the headline says, but a surprising reason for cancellation; unless of course no-one volunteered to get off to reduce the numbers to an acceptable level. I'm guessing the train formation wasn't the one in the EDP photograph...
