    Class 322s at ScotRail

    322's are basically 320's with an additonal coach that has 2 toilets in it and beefier motors. 320's haven't had anything upgraded traction motor wise, just lateral dampers and upgraded WSP electronics and a few electronic links added/removed. They were always 90mph capable, just not set-up...

    Yukkiest thing you've seen on a train

    Used plasters/Hankies particularly irritate me. I've seen pretty much everything including some underwear. :-S

    Water escaping from the top of class 156's

    Yes, they do.

    Emergency brake application

    Most trains have a higher EBA and sanders blow off automatically to aid the stop.

    Which rolling stock is most in need of refurbishment/replacement?

    314's are recieving a much needed refresh which makes them far more pleasant to be in so I am really curious why they need to be replaced urgently.

    Manchester - Scotland EMU stock

    I never said they were passed to do 90mph. They were designed capable of 90mph. They were not set-up to do so, unlike now with dampers and the 90mph electronics. They use the same motors as 318's so I don't think so.

    Manchester - Scotland EMU stock

    They were built being 90mph capable but set up to 75 mph as there was no need for the extra speed.

    Turning Pendolinos around

    They can (and have) go to Shields to be turned around. I think they use Shields head shunt. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- When did this come about?

    Heaters on trains...

    On 380's the driver has the ability to adjust the saloon temperature slightly.

    class 320 refurb

    318's operate these services too and they have a totally different pantograph. Why would it be an embarassment? They have pretty much the same pantograph as 318's so I doubt it is a pantograph issue.

    class 320 refurb

    320's pass Dalmarnock all the time so I am not sure what the issue is. Again, I am not sure what the issue is.

    class 320 refurb

    I would imagine the risk assessments are for staff and passengers otherwise it would not have been allowed to travel up on its own power. As for the other changes, nothing much is different apart from locations of pre existing equipment, floor lighting and door controls. I would imagine that...

    class 320 refurb

    320314 has been at Shields for staff training on the new toilet. No point sending it out if nobody has a clue how to rectify simple faults whilst it's out on service.

    class 320 refurb

    There is only one mural affected and it has been retained (although not the original). It's not not traction motor cooling, it is the battery charger and various control electronics.

    class 320 refurb

    No more work is planned for the unit, infact I had heard that if there was a bad reaction to the mix of internal livery (with the fold up seating) it would be reverse liveried into the green with red stripes!

    Don't people look or listen ??

    Happens quite regularly on the Balloch express at Partick. People just jump on and despite the driver coming on the PA or replaying the PIS message that Dumbarton central is the next stop someone always gets caught. They then start to blame everyone else but themselves for it.

    Have you ever been ignored by a train at a request stop?

    If it is a member of public on a requested stop I don't think the driver would since he would have to stop anyway.
