Anyone know when the deliveries of the 385s will recommence?

The EMU depot at Millerhill was a completely new build on the site of the old reclamation sidings. The 385s show as being allocated to Craigentinny on railway systems and currently receive all their maintenance there.
Pardon the silly question but if they're allocated to Craigentinny and currently are maintained there, what was the point of the EMU depot at Millerhill?
Unless it's they're going to be allocated to it if Hitachi take over Craigentinny for the sole maintenance of their trains?
Any idea what the two letter code is for Millerhill if one exists on the railway systems?
Millerhill is for stabling and cleaning; there isn't enough room at Craigentinny to meet ScotRail's requirements. I expect maintenance will transfer to Shields once the initial contract with Hitachi ends.Pardon the silly question but if they're allocated to Craigentinny and currently are maintained there, what was the point of the EMU depot at Millerhill?
The EMU depot doesn't have a two letter code. The STANNOX is 04237, the TIPLOC is MLRHEY and the STANME is MHILLEMUY.Any idea what the two letter code is for Millerhill if one exists on the railway systems?

I have been caught out in the past by the fact that there is no 1945. I would say adding one is a significant first step. Adding a 2015 would probably prove immediately popular also.
And what would you know... as if by magic, from 20th May 2019 a 1945 E&G service is added to the schedule in both directions, calling at all of Croy, Falkirk High, Polmont and Linlithgow.
Excellent! If only I could always get a service enhancement that easily!
23:45 from Queen Street, 23:16 from Waverley.Does that mean the last train leaving Queen Street and Waverley will now be at 23:45?
23:45 from Queen Street, 23:16 from Waverley.
According to the provisional timetables, yes.So the last G-E train from Waverley is earlier than the 23:30 that leaves at the moment?
According to the provisional timetables, yes.
Is E-G all electric now?Can see that going down well. Another thing ScotRail will get it in the neck for if it goes ahead.
You would hope that common sense prevails and it gets retarded to 2330.According to the provisional timetables, yes.
You would really hope so. Just adding fuel to the fire if it does go ahead at 2316. Would be an absolute joke in fact.You would hope that common sense prevails and it gets retarded to 2330.
Is E-G all electric now?
Many thanks.Yes, has been for some time now. There were a couple of 170 substitutions a few months ago when there were brake issues on the 385s, but it was 365s/380s/385s in the summer, and since the timetable change it's been all-385.
Sorry I'm coming to this late but what unit is supposed to work the EDB-Dunblanes I'm doing the 11.21 in a few weeks, are they booked EMU's?
It’s still a mix between electrics and diesels right now
Hearing reports that one carriage of 385045 has been taken by road to Ashford. Anyone got any idea why?
Not one carriage, all three.
