Apologies this is off topic, but if anyone in Wolverton, could they pm me or post here or another thread on what work is getting done on Scotrail unit 156456 please. If it is pm’d to me then I will keep it confidential unless told I can lost detail Thanks

With the hotel being demolished at the buffer ends, it will be interesting to see if platform 1 and 2 are eventually extended to take 7 or 8 coaches, to keep Platform 3 and 4 empty removing several shunts

Was mentioned I think on Scot-rail site that bus contracts have been extended to end of May/early June

Class 334 cover on Sunday. Might have been due to quite a few 318s I believe at Shields on Sunday (250/252/270 definitely there) also a few 320(321 for sure) there may have been others. There are some service Mon-Fri booked for Class 334 on Argyle line 334s must be coming up for a repaint...

156495 just left Corkerhill with 156508 to form 1733 Glasgow Central to East Kilbride

Again thanks to Scot-rail group 156503 has been removed from Girvan and should now be back at Corkerhill

have posted this here, as was a result of fire 156495 which has been out of hours at Stranraer has today been lifted on to low loaders for return to Corkerhill A tamper came in the opposite direction 156503 remains at Girvan, and maybe also be recovered in next few days. 156503 is a failure...

Putting 769 on East Kilbride line would release at least 9 Class 156 units which could be used on either Leven or Fife services if drivers were retrained

156456 probably life extension works, as 156 units staying for longer now

With 2024 just around the corner. No announcement has been made on fleet replacement of Class 318/320. I think it could be at least 2028 before replacement could be due, or will the Class 318/320 be expected to soldier on longer?

My reply is going to cover various threads. Barrhead locals.. would 3 car 380 not be enough? Neilston - think 6 car 318/320 throughout the day would probably be better, or splitting to a 3 car unit. Not convinced they need 4 car services. Ayrshire - pre covid 6 car was needed the majority of...

Was it not proposed that the Clyde metro would be light rail?

This reply may include speculative answers which are linked so please move if appropriate With the announcement above, and lines like Paisley Canal, Neilston, Newton and Cathcart all more than likely to be metro services, I wonder if the Class 318/320/334 replacement might be postponed as metro...

There should be spare capacity on Class 334 as Milngavie to Edinbirgh only runs in peak. So without going to speculative, some of them could free up 318/320 on Argyle line to release them to Inverclyde with 380 to Barrhead/East Kilbride

The link above is for tonight. There were 3 trips early this morning, 1 to each platform

380110 about to depart Glasgow Central on the first of 3 test runs to Barrhead tonight

Hopefully if demands through the consultation seek a half hourly service, then maybe more of the line could be dualled. Without verging on speculative thread I do wonder if from Inverkip to Wemyss Bay could be dualled, or would that not make any difference?

There is usually 8 diagrams that operate out of Glasgow Central high level, although you can get up to 10 units as the 6 car that goes to Shields at 08+40 usually works the ecs to Anderson, with another 6 car coming out in the evening. All 21 x 318 units were in service today

How long roughly would a unit be able to sit at East Kilbride, if the unit coming from East Kilbride passes the unit heading to East Kilbride at the last signal in the loop before East Kilbride? Hope that makes sense. Just trying to see if one platform would still work to have a unit spend...

Again please move if needs to be speclative If hotel is fully knocked down, which looking at pictures the part that is on platform 3 and at buffer ends of platform 1 and 2, just on concourse, then I wonder if platform 1 & 2 will be extended to 8 car platforms
