Scotrail Edinburgh-Aberdeen pathed as "diesel loco"?

Just spotted this:

Anyone know why it's pathed as a diesel locomotive trailing a load? Some other diagrams that day for the same route, with Scotrail, show pathing for a 158, such as:

But there are a few like the first link which are pathed for "diesel locos".

First of the HST paths, perhaps?

Probably an HST set on a timing/proving run.

Surely not in passenger service.

Even so, HSTs have their own timing load which isn't a loco hauled diesel, don't they?

There are (slam door AIUI) diagrams for trams on the Aberdeen from May so it’ll be those. Every chance it’s a new short set SRT that the open feed/RTT is incorrectly translating to loco. “324 tonnes” is oddly specific for a generic LH load and it would also just about work for a 2+5 I think.

The new SRTs for the Scotrail short sets are setup as diesel locos with a trailing load, not the usual way an HST is. D:324:100 I recall.

That’s exciting news then. I’d no idea they were going to be in passenger service that early.

I wouldn’t hold your breath..

Bizarre when there are various 2+ HST timing loads already in the system.

I've just had a look. The actual timing loads are HSTSR5,324,100 and HSTSR4,287,100. HST timing loads don't normally have a trailing load, so perhaps this is the reason why it ends up as a diesel loco with a trailing load in CIF output.

No reason at all to put a trailing load on a passenger train unless it is a specific loco hauled like charter timing loads or 67s and such like.
