South Western Railway is now participating in Know Your Train (including allocations) https://blog.realtimetrains.com/2020/12/south-western-railway-join-know-your-train/

No idea on the first point - can only assume Yoker doesn't have the facilities to load onto a lorry. On the second point; the preserved line into Bo'ness had a landslide around the time of the Carmont derailment and repairs to the enbankment are still ongoing, so I imagine that rules out...

314209 moved (by rail) to Shields Depot today between 318253 and 320414 (5V05 from Yoker). Video of the move was posted to a private Facebook group. Apparently due to be collected from Shields and moved to Bo'ness by road.

Taken from the scot-rail forum: This brings the total delivered to 22 (21 available if you exclude the Carmont set). Based on the list I've compiled on the Freightmaster forum the sets still to be delivered are; HA06 HA14 HA19 HA20 Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though.

The advertising screens have now been installed either side of the departure boards and have been turned on. Images below (can be seen turned on through the windows in the second pic): https://twitter.com/GlasgowWEToday/status/1309165866806898689?s=20...

Brodie Engineering have had the Bonnyton depot for years - which is the ex-Civil Engineering depot you mentioned. The article linked is regarding the former Wabtec site - which they have moved into. They retain both sites. The linked article clearly covers this point:

The site Wabtec had at Kilmarnock has already been acquired by Brodie Engineering so no scope for Wabtec to move back in.

Hoardings are down. The pavement along the front of the station has also re-opened:

I think it was open, but couldn't say with 100% certainty as was a quick snap on the way home.

The pods for staff to sell tickets have now been assembled:

Had a wander through today. Not immediately obvious what work they're doing. I can only assume it's the permanent flooring at the doors rather than the temporary feeling red stuff?

Example from today: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C60635/2020-08-31/detailed RTT shows the allocation. They look to alternate between 380 and 385

Was still closed on Friday but looked complete. Will have another wander round tomorrow. On the topic of announcements; they've just put out that the Dundas St entrance will be closed from tonight / tomorrow (Monday 24/08) through to next Monday the 31st...

Had a look on my usual lunchtime walk today. The pavement on the station side of West George St is still closed and the road was back down to 1 lane for what looked like drainage work (suction excavation?). Lift at the George Sq entrance is in use and the stairs down to the toilets/left...
