Definitely a glass half empty pov. When Queen Street is complete next spring the project will have delivered. The 385 reliability is proving to be fairly good. Onto a further ten 385's, Almond Chord, further electrification, double tracking and infrastructure improvements next :-)
Not the case. A phased successful introduction combined with the withdrawal of the 314's. No rush to have them before they're needed. The whole rollout and improvements elsewhere are all on schedule. EGIP is a hugely successful project.
That would be some speculation tbh. The factory there is well established with a full order book and one of those returned from Italy - 385102 - is in Scotland already. More likely that the deliveries are being staggered to ensure a steady introduction and the removal of the remaining 314's...
The Air Con is always very good in Japanese cars, especially in the grey imports. Should of been specified as per a domestic urban train. Because the humidity is even worse there?
