Secondly there was an injured person on the railway at Berwick just a few hours later - was treated as a crime scene by the BTP until that cleared up.
Yep. So, had I not been instructed to wait for the 09:32, and instead got on the delayed XC service, I would have been fine. However, I waited for a service that didn't arrive until around 12:00 due to the incident north of Berwick, which was then terminated at Waverly, meaning another replacement bus from there to Aberdeen.
