https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C02381/2022-10-25/detailed Seen this unit Wishaw Central junction. Through the doors it looked like an empty train. Was it a test run or a little used service.

The train info shows Parcel train, like the 325 red parcels units, but a 321, which leads me to thinking it might be a 321 unit, conversion to parcel train, as think read some where that 321’s might be converted to parcel work.
I could well be wrong, and others might well know more, and it’s running from Mossend, not Shieldmuir Parcel depot, which Is the normal place they run from.

Clearly a test as it went back north 4 minutes later as 1S04.

I understand that there has been a major fall out regarding the location for loading/unloading the service in Scotland.
Although RTT shows the train running from 'Mossend Down Yard', it only did so in the first day or two,
as it's loading location apparently blocked access to other terminals on the down side of the line,
so last night's train actually ran (empty) from the stabling sidings on the up side of the line.
Hopefully Varamis can find an suitable alternate loading location soon...?

Who owns the Railnet terminals? Is it Royal Mail or Network Rail?
