203 & 209 on the Neilston express this evening. Hopefully at least one shall make it into preservation!
Hopefully indeed. Is the Neilston express still normally a 314 working then?

I belive it was 314205 I was on this evening for the 1815 Cathcart circle trip. Given that the 1745 Newton is now a 385 most days, people on the inner circle got to see the oldest and the newest EMUs within 30 mins of each other!

I think so. On the once or twice weekly occasion I'm on it, it seems to be and is always a 6-car version. Similarly the 0820 Neilston - GLC express is a 314 working most of the time I've been on it over the past few weeks.

ScotRail own the 314 fleet outright now. Seemingly part of the compensation from Angel for the HST delays. So it'll be up to ScotRail whether any get preserved I imagine.
The morning express from Neilston departs at 0807 and is a 380.
The departure previous to this departs at 0755 and AFAIK should be a 6 car 314.
All a bit of a bigger problem with powered door stock. Would be expensive mods to allow a loco to be made compatible to power the doorsIf you keep one in working order, where would you work it? There seems little point in preserving an emu for it to be hauled around dead.
Dear Snookertam,
Apologies, I hop on at Muirend at 0820. Time tabling error at my end!
Also, other queries re 318/320s - there is a 6 car working in both peaks to/from Neilston.
It was a mixed set on Wednesday evening, it was 320306+a 318Is that a mixed set; I ask as I only ever seen to see 320s never 318s alone or otherwise?

This afternoon 314205 worked the 14.45 to Newton
314214 worked the 15.08 ecs from Glasgow central - crosshill then from crosshill - central via the outer circle.
314202 worked the 15.15 Cathcart inner circle service
Earlier today ScotRail said on Twitter that only 5 314s remain in service. Does this mean that one of the units recently described as in service has now been stored?
Possibly these are the 5 units ScotRail refer to with 202, 205 and 209 now stored?
202 and 205 have certainly been out lately, not sure about 209.
That might just be the twitter team's way of saying there's 5 diagrams left, although I would be surprised if they keep 8 units to cover 5 diagrams right through until December.
There are now 4 or 5 units at Yoker, a couple having arrived recently following the departure of the 365s. Not sure exactly which ones are there though.
208 and 211 were listed as being at Yoker last week.
314215 is also at Yoker
