I swear that a Derby to Carlisle test train on the weekend had an ex-Caley Mk2 in it? Am.I going mad?!

No, you're not going mad. Some of the 98xx series have found their way into the test train fleet.

Might as well: little else for them what with heritage railways closed for the foreseeable!

This pre-dates the current situation and is specifically because the 98xx BUOs have controlled emission toilets.

At the time you saw them back in May, the following LSL Mk3s were at the SVR:
10504 / 10513 / 10519 / 10520 / 10648 / 10650 / 10675 / 10683
10520 returned to Crewe on 28 May and is now in a very smart blood and custard livery.

6701 is the one at Brodie’s in Kilmarnock - being converted into staff offices/messroom I think.
6708 is now owned by LSL (bought, not leased from ERS). It’s the very swanky Hippocrene Bar in The Statesman stock. Refurbed by Independent Rail Services.
6705 is, I believe, also LSL-bound via a similar route.
