Class 222 Meridian for ScotRail

[TrainViation]

I'm sure it's been common knowledge that ScotRail will be receiving Class 222s from EMR.
But it has finally been confirmed by train drivers that this is in-fact the case.

What is everyone's thoughts on ScotRail getting Meridians?

Let the HSTs see out their lease on the West Highland Line and get the 156's gone. Overcrowded and overheating in summer, ice cubes in winter. This line really deserves better and HSTs would vastly improve the service offering, first class would be a big upsell for visitors and would have some degree of attraction for the train itself. ScotRail might be able to claw back some market share from the Jacobite too. The trains have to be paid for, so use them!

That's got as much chance of happening than Stenhousemuir winning the Champions League
