Here is another one...

CAP413 talks about the requesting of both 'departure information' and 'taxi instructions'. The departure information request seems to be in lieu of a recorded ATIS message.

If departing from a aerodrome with a GROUND station and no ATIS, are these two requests always made as seperate calls? It seems that they would probably be made in quick succession if they were. Would you instead make a call like...

Someville ground, G-ABCD request departure information and taxi instructions for VFR flight to elsewheretown.

Incase it is not obvious, I am training at an airfield with a a/g station, so my knowledge of departure procedures from full ATC aerodromes is a bit lacking
