    Trains that never get to top speed

    334s are max speed 90mph, and most if not all are limited/ governed to that. That's not to say that they couldn't reach the "ton" if allowed... :twisted:

    Story I've heard is the Driver was in the *rear* cab at the time of the incident- not going to say more than this...

    Scotrail: Meet the Managers

    The line was originally double all the way, being singled in the 70s between Barrhead and Kilmarnock. The line was slewed in several places to run in the centre of the formation to give clearance under some of the bridges.

    Neilston motive power?

    314s have 8 tractions per unit, there is a traction cut off switch in each cab that cuts out the 4 motors in that coach.

    142s

    It's not just FGW that's getting some, rumours have it that some are heading for Scotland to work Glasgow Central to Paisley Canal and Whifflet services. Driver training to start "next year"... :(
