Heres one to sort out the anoraks from the obsessives. When ScotRail was invented by BR in the mid 1980s and started branding its station nameboards, the first station I saw get the treatment was Linlithgow and the ScotRail part was bright red not blue. I never saw the red anywhere else and the Linlithgow ones were eventually replaced by the blue version as seen here. The red was presumably a failed trial...does anyone have a photograph of the red version?
