ScotRail have confirmed Saturday 14th December will be their last day in service. Their last official diagram should be the 2312 Glasgow Central - Paisley Canal that night. Unclear if ScotRail have a farewell run planned, but there will be no 314s diagrammed in service from Sunday 15th December onwards.

Do the 314s still work the PM Glasgow - Newton via Queens Park diagram on Saturdays? If so, wouldn't the last passenger service be the 2320 Glasgow Central - Newton?

I'm just trying to sort sleeping arrangements for next Saturday and hotels are in short supply in the area.

I understand the diagram has been altered to ensure there are no 314 services the following day. Normally the unit that forms the 2320 Central - Newton runs empty to Motherwell and then back into Central on Sunday mornings to pick up the sole Sunday diagram, but next week that should be done by a 318 or 320.

314205 is on the xx.20 Glasgow Central - Newton via Queens Park workings this evening

Many thanks. I've opted for a hotel in Paisley.

It’s a shame it’s on that day, I’ve already booked myself on the LNER Farewell tour. You’d think they wouldn’t clash Farewell tours

Has this even been confirmed ?

If it’s in the open data feeds monst likely yeah

Ewan M · 8 Dec 2019

Here’s the path for tomorrow’s scrap drag. Don’t know if it’ll be the 47 being used again or it’ll be one of the ROG 37s this time.

If anyone is planning on catching 314215’s last journey tomorrow, I believe GBRf 47727 will again be hauling the unit along with the two barrier coaches. As per the last drag I’ll be at Springburn to catch the movement.

Heard nothing. With it going to Ayr and Cumbernauld it looks like more tour

Cancelled.

205, 209 and 216 are the final Monday daytime service units.

J-2739 · 9 Dec 2019

With the last of the 314s leaving by the 14th December, will the Class 314 go down as the only class this decade, in which all the units have been withdrawn?

I would think so! Should also point out that all of the GN 313s are now withdrawn and scrapped (but the ones with Southern are still around as with the NR set)

Does Class 460 count?

And I would point out that this decade runs until 31/12/2020: there was no year 0. Yes, that does mean the millennium was celebrated a year early!

205 was on the 1615 Inner Cathcart if that's of use to anyone. Had a nice full run round the circle to start off my first visit to Glasgow!

I wouldn't say that they count, as they got re-used in the form of 458/5s?

True. The class disappeared, but the majority of vehicles survived.

Any word on this so called tour next Wednesday ?

What about the car scrapped after Newton - that wasn’t this decade?

202, 205 and 216 are the final Tuesday daytime service units.

Nothing yet. I hope the dates change for it to another date. I’m sure other people feel the same way so they can plan time off to go on it

Eastleigh works. I linked to a photo of it when the question was asked in the 313 thread:

A tweet from Richard C from Rail

It's the end for the @ScotRail Cl.314s next week. A farewell charter has been confirmed. Details attached....

https://twitter.com/Clinnick1/status/1204425631318073344

Lists it as 3 tours, one to Ayr & back, one to Motherwell, Carstairs & Cumbernauld, with a 3rd to Helesburgh and back

Donations to charity

December 18. No booking, just show up and donate a minimum of £10. It's on a 'first come, first serve' basis.

https://twitter.com/Clinnick1/status/1204430846716985344

-----------

Shame it is a Wednesday with short notice, at least the GN 313 farewell had a couple months notice to allow folk from outside the main area to pick up accommodation/advance fares for reasonable prices.

That’s a nice idea they’ve decided to do this. The 303s only really got a return service to Helensburgh.

It would have been nice to see them on the low level line at GLQ and through the north Clyde line through Carntyne, Shettleston, Garrowhill etc as they operated those lines at one time.
