385s really should be put on Ayr to allow Largs to double up. I just had to miss the 16:30 Largs as there wasn’t any room to get on.
Any idea what unit it is?And it's on its way.

I feel like the Largs service is always majorly under capacitated. Most services are 3 car 380s which is never enough especially over the summer months.
The easiest way to solve that is put the 385s onto Gourock/Weymes Bay services to free up the 380s to then strengthen the Ayrshire services during the peaks. Ayr drivers don't currently sign 385s (may do so in the near future if the rumours are true). However, I don't think we have enough 385 3 cars to do that. I don't think there will be more units available once the 314s are gone. Ideally they should be looking at more 321 to 320 conversions if possible to strengthen the southside Strathclyde EMU fleet to allow the 380s and 385s to do the longer distance Lanark and Inverclydes.

Thank you385043 on 7X09 tonight with 67001.
Loco on its way to collected.385101 should head north this evening
And there are three delivery paths next week (Tuesday Thursday and Friday).3 more, if 101 comes tonight it will leave 001,002 & 044 at factory.
No work has been carried out yet and I don’t think any 385s have visited yetSlightly off-topic but has the turn back at Neilston been modified to take 6 x 23m carriages yet?
Not sure there is any work planned to do it. It would be a very tight fit I reckon.Slightly off-topic but has the turn back at Neilston been modified to take 6 x 23m carriages yet?

Friday's path is no longer thereAnd there are three delivery paths next week (Tuesday Thursday and Friday).
Where did get the announcement from? Also could of sworn I saw a reply on this discussion mentioning it would need a fresh order but who knows it might be exercised.with today's announcement about wires to East Kilbride and Barrhead, does anyone know if the option for 10 more 385s is being exercised or do we need a fresh batch under a new procurement?

Thanks will have a look at it.See the Scottish Electrification thread here, from the Infrastructure and Stations subforum.
Concentrate the 385s on longer distance routes and get the 380s back on Ayrshire and Inverclyde services where they belong?
320302 & 320414 I think was on one of the servicesThis seems to be a common view but before that is done, the seats need sorting - they are horrendous to sit in for 40 mins. I want the 318s back on the Lanarks !
