Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM28 - . Recorded at Perth,Scotland,UK in 2016, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison.

Another layer of the photograph includes built heritage, urban fabric, period detail, local history, historical comparison, archival record, conservation interest, contemporary social history, documentary photography, heritage landmark, historic streetscape, place identity, period architecture, and social history. Current relevance extends to embodied carbon and tourism, particularly through keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character.

Other useful contextual ideas include visual archive, heritage asset, period building, community identity, public realm, adaptive reuse, conservation architecture, and before-and-after reference. Elements such as Scotland, platform, shadows, Passengers, and Perth add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. By fixing the subject within Perth,Scotland,UK, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history.

The image also provides a reference for planning control and the value of architectural landmarks to local identity and tourism as part of the longer story of Perth,Scotland,UK. Another useful connection is tourism and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility when considered against later change at Perth,Scotland,UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY3RM6 - Telegraph News from Nov 2016 - Abellio braces for Scotrail franchise battle as political pressure mounts
Transport operator Abellio is bracing for a battle with the Scottish Government to hold on to its Scotrail franchise as fresh data showed the number of delayed trains is increasing.
The Dutch company has admitted that its performance is not good enough but said after a scathing attack at the weekend from the Scottish Government that it would have no problem competing with a public-sector bidder for Scotrail.
Abellio won the franchise to run Scotland's train services until 2025 two years ago, but has since been fined £438,000 due to continued delays on its trains.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM3H - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale
