i think with downturn in traffic after covid, rather than Scotrail look at new units for Barrhead and East Kilbride line they should take the Class 321/9 and Class 322.
These 4 car units could operate Neilston off peak services allowing the 4 car Class 380 to operate East Kilbride services.
Some 3 car services that could do with 4 car units could also utilise these.
As the Class 318 have just started a Tbox overhaul (C6) and repaint, I suspect they have at least 6-8 years left to operate so then a replacement fleet for 318/320 and if 321/9 and 322 came together and possibly 334
