Good stuff! Glad it wasn't as serious as it could've been.

Single line working was in operation via the up line. The last train to North berwick was actually stabled at North berwick overnight to allow repairs to be made after the close of service. Set returned to traffic on the 11:20 from North berwick.
Interesting. I did notice the ECS was cancelled. I guess the crew were taxied?

Crew taxied up last night, then a crew were taxied down this morning. Sets have been stabled there in the past but its not ideal as the set can't get tanked or cleaned especially if someone is sick on the last train, it just sits overnight. It's also open to vandalism, not that it happen often.
Just wait till the fracking starts!
That will be very ^interesting^, including for the railways.

The YeSNP have banned fracking in Scotland. Probably will demand a ban in England too, as their price for propping up Ed.

It's not really. However the last train is unpredictable vomit wise. A 322 was stabled there years ago and got painted.
