You have missed the last one today as trains around the circle only run in the peaks at present.

The best compromise outside the peaks is a return from Glasgow to Kings Park, via Maxwell Park in one direction and Queens Park on the way back.

£2.70 off-peak day return.

Plenty of trains run with 318 / 320 units on the Glasgow networks. See RTT for details.

Ah, in which case I think you either buy a return to Langside or have a Roundabout ticket if you plan to travel more widely

I've decided i'll probably not go for cathcart circle and instead go to newton and back, I'm hoping I'll be able to get on a class 318/320 and maybe a 385, are 385s on newton services? If they are then how often?

Unfortunately the 385 was taken off the Newton service since the covid timetable came into force. It's mainly just 380s with the 318 and 320 working the daytime Maxwell Park services.

Best thing will be to glance at RTT on the day to see what services are allocated a 318 or 320. Looking at RTT for today looks like a few are 380s.

If you get a roundabout ticket (http://railrover.org/pages/strathclyde-roundabout.html) you can change plans accordingly
