OBSERVATION

1)...The overnight travel relexation rule does not come into effect until 2300 hours.

2)...As the minimum connection time at Aberdeen station is shown as 5 minutes, we could have boarded the 2249 Scotrail service to Inverurie.

Agreed. There are also still plenty of buses operating. Aberdeen maybe very far up north, but it has a respectable bus and rail service.
