The answer

Answered by Keith Brown on 19 Jan 2012 · 92 days after it was lodged, on time

No, the Scottish Government has not requested assistance from Scottish Pollution Control Coordinating Committee on the specific issues of noise and vibration relating to freight trains at night.
Officials do, however, meet with this group to discuss noise issues in general.
