As we may or may not know, unit 318270 had vehicles 77288 + 62890 + 77289, and was not numbered sequentially like 318250 to 318269.
According to the British Rail At Work: Scotrail book by Colin Boocock, it was mentioned that 20 Class 318 units would be built.
Is it true that 318270 was added to the original order of 20 units?
Also, is there a reason it is being numbered 318250 to 318270, rather than something like 318201 to 221 or even 318301 to 321. My guess is that it was to do with the ScotRail numbering policy because there were Class 314 units being numbered 314201 to 216. ScotRail would order Class 320 units a few years later, and they would be numbered 320301 to 322.
