Hi - live in Scotland. Been using the train since 1995. First time encountered smell and saw fibre floating. My well have been from the breaks or doors - thought I saw cloud of stuff when waiting to get on the train. I was not sure if asbestos had been left in situ and things could have...

Thanks everyone - again no expert but reading looks like 156s are from the mid to late 80s and all Asbestos was not banned till 1999.

Using train for years and never came across this smell or flaring metallic looking fibre. Trying to establish no possibility of being disturbed asbestos for insulation, breaking etc.

Thanks - sorry no idea of the stock - line is Kilmarnock to Glasgow Central. Reason asking was metallic looking fibre floating in the carriage - and associated burning/smokey smell.

Are Scotland carriages Asbestos free? Concerned are travelling last week. Thanks in advance for any advice.
