An Edinburgh service pulls out of its accustomed Platform 5 at Perth, as such trains seem destined to do until the end of time. It is possible the station ironwork will get a paint job before then, but that might spoil the station's delightfully faded and gloomy air.

The unusual sight of a passenger train using Perth's normally superflous Platform 6 (left) on 8th November 2018. This is roughly fenced off from Platform 7 due to an uneven surface and has no departure screen. The line between here and Dundee was closed due to a lineside fire and Glasgow services were terminating and originating here.
