Changed my plans, as I finished work early yesterday

The return working from Gourock to Glasgow was on-time but departed Paisley early
It was the same at Lochwinnoch, running 10 minutes early

It's great to see them out and about at last! I think they look really good, especially at speed. Thanks for the videos.

Hence why I went to Lochwinnoch, I'm pretty sure the line speed there is 90mph (one of the few places where these units benefit from the previous 70mph speed limits everywhere else)
