SDA? .

 

[Mag_seven]

SDA? .

At a guess, Stirling, Dunblane, Alloa?

 

[GusB]

SDA? .

Stirling, Dunblane, Alloa - I think!

 

[InOban]

Apologies for using the abbreviation.

From Glasgow and Edinburgh?

I assume we don’t know then? Wait and see I suppose

As I understand it:

Ayrshire will still be 380s
Inverclyde will be 380s as now, 314s on 3 diagrams and 385s on the former 314 diagrams
Stirling/Dunblane/Alloa will be 385s
Cathcart/Newton/Neilston will be 380s, 385s (two diagrams I think), 318/320.
Edinburgh-North Berwick/Dunbar is already 385 except the through services from Ayr/Glasgow I believe.

Thanks

Thanks

Should add 385s and 380s on Glasgow Central-Shotts-Edinburgh too.

Plus Glasgow - Lanark also going over to 385s at some point?

[Certainly a better use for them compared to use on the Cathcart circle).

Glasgow Central High Level presumably?

 

[Kite159]

Glasgow Central High Level presumably?

Yes from the high level, replacing the 318/320s currently used on the Lanarks.

 

[hexagon789]

Yes from the high level, replacing the 318/320s currently used on the Lanarks.

And those 318/320s go either to other routes to cover for 314 withdrawal or to strengthen 3-car sets presumably.

 

[SC318250]

Ayrshire will be 380
Inverclyde will be all 380 except 1x385 on Gourock, and either 1 x 318 or 320 on Wemyss Bay, with exception of 0555 Gourock 6 car 314 which splits to form 2 services back to Glasgow
Think they then couple back up to form Cathcarts etc

Paisley Canal i think is either 318/320 or 380

Are 318/320s cleared for Paisley Canal?

 

[Highlandspring]

Yes..

Are the 314s to Gourock only in the morning do you know?

 

[alangla]

Any idea what this is? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K97562/2019/05/15/advanced Something going back to Hitachi?

314s off the Cathcart circle routes ?

 

[hexagon789]

Not quite yet, the 314 units down to Gourock in the morning work Cathcarts on return to Glasgow.

It's so easy to miss bits out when trying to compile a list!

 

[Ben Conlin]

Yes from the high level, replacing the 318/320s currently used on the Lanarks.

I’m looking forward to seeing the 385s in the Lanark route they’ll be on 75% of services as of the change this week

And i got knuckles wrapped for posting EG

That's because its E&G

In days gone by it was Edinburgh TO Glasgow, when did TO get rep[laced with &

Edinburgh to Glasgow would be the service, the line itself being the Edinburgh and Glasgow.

E&G is just a logical contraction of the railway line name.

Not sure I quite understand your meaning, sorry?
