Default Number 8 bus

Is calling an outstation a "Dormy" or "Dormy Garage" a practice
exclusive to the old Midland Red, or was that a widespread term?

Someone here is bound to know, Ross being at the top of the list!


No, it was a commonly-used term in the industry. Dormy Shed is another
variation. Outpost is another that I have heard.
