I'm bored so have decided to do this poll. All opinions welcome, from enthusiasts to railway workers. Would definitely be interested to see what drivers think of them (I don't have much technical knowledge).
I've included 314's in the poll since they were in service until fairly recently.
For me, I would say the 334's. Took them occasionally on Ayr and Argyle Line services back in the day and was thrilled when I found out that they were coming to my line full-time for the Edinburgh services (as opposed to 1 or 2 diagrams before). Nicely laid out, an enjoyable ride and don't seem to be showing their age much. It's been 10 years since they moved to the North Clyde routes, so I would be interested to see how they would do on other lines and would love to see them back at Central High Level again. I will say that I preferred them in Carmine and Cream, don't think that Saltire looks good on them.
Really, the only bad ones since the 314's left are the 320/4's, hate those ones with a passion since they have a bad PA system, no plug sockets, no character at all and fairly low seats. Whilst they are DMU's and not part of the pol, also not fond of the 156's used to East Kilbride (took a trip on the EK line shortly before lockdown and it was terrible, thought it would be bad but was even worse than expected). Time for them to follow 314's out to pasture and for the likes of EK & Barrhead to be electrified?
What are your thoughts?
