Class 314 Withdrawals

[jamieintercity]

Just seen a tweet from scotrail this morning saying that they will be 3 class 314s in service from 19th May, mainly on the interclyde route

 

[mic505]

You mean Inverclyde route. Hopefully by December 2019 timetable change that number should be down to zero.

The 3 314 services to Inverclyde post-May will all be very early morning services to/from Gourock, so if you want to go to Inverclyde on a 314 during the daytime then I advise you go soon.

Presumably that's the pair that goes down to Gourock and splits to work two trains back up? I guess they'll have some peak hour work on the Cathcart routes too.

Correct - the 0555 Central to Gourock, and the 0647 and 0728 Gourock to Central.

Interestingly Scotrail have also indicated on Twitter that 14 Inverclyde services will be operated by 385s. As far as I’m aware there were never any plans to have them operating to Inverclyde until fairly recently.

I always thought the 380s and 385s would have job shared over time with the 380s still being used out of GLQ and the 385s doing Ayrshire and Inverclyde services.

Yay! My regular journey to work stays a 314. I’ll miss them when they’re gone.

385s to Ayr will be very difficult as Ayr drivers are not passed for 385s.

 

[youngac]

Anyone know which 314s (if any) have been withdrawn following the timetable change?

Off peak, looks like only the Newton via Maxwell Park, Cathcart inner and outer services are now worked by the class 314’s.

314202, 314214 and 314216 are working these services today. Paisley canal is a 318 and 380 while the Inverclyde workings that were 314’s are now a mix of 318 and 320’s.

There's still the two early-ish morning departures off Gourock which are 314s - was 314202 on one diagram this morning, which obviously then goes on to something round the Circle. There was a 320 heading to Wemyss Bay on a diagram that until this week was a 314, and a 318 heading to Newton about 0745 from Central on a diagram that recently has been a 385. So not quite all change, but some changes. I'm not actually sure whether the diagrams themselves have changed, or whether its just the allocated power.

I'm also not really sure where all the 380s have gone - before E&G electrification, there were enough for pretty well all Ayrshire and Inverclyde services to be 380s, but now - despite the arrival of the 385s - somehow there aren't enough any more. I'll need to try and work out where the 380s have gone.

314208/211 are stored at Yoker CS
Looks like 202/203/205/209/214/216 are the 6 available for 5 diagrams

207/210/215 look like stored at Shields unless they are rotated around

205, with its funky residual vandalism on one side above the windows, being my current favourite (for no other obvious reason) - its funny how often its the externally tatty stock that proves the longest lived.

 

[Peter0124]

314214/314202 on 2M83 0919 Newton to Glasgow Central earlier today

I’m a big fan of the ‘Graffitied Gondolier’. I’m sure there is a large of smudge of black paint on one of the cabs too. You should have heard the howls of derision when it pulled into Muirend last week, a slight deviation from the fairly regular 380 diagram. Who needs plug sockets when you have modern art?

Saw 214 on a Newton working at 10:45 out of Central. And another unidentified 314 incoming at the same time.

Saw at least 3 units at Shields Road. One on its own and two joined.

Here’s a shot of 210/215 ready to depart Bishopton only last Saturday, was the first time I’d seen a double Carmine set in a while as I’m not around Glasgow too much nowadays

Solitary 203 in GLC tonight on the 2035 Neilston run. Definite increase in 385 numbers.

Crikey it’s had a long day. Worked the 0647 off Gourock this morning. ScR getting their money’s worth out of that 314.

 

[route101]

Two Neilston services in a row were 314s , the fast service at 1718 was a 6 car 314 all carmine set

The fast service would have been 314205+314216, they were on the 19.28 Neilston - Glasgow Central service earlier

That'll have been the one I saw arrived at around 1540
