It's good to see the pictures of 156478 back in service. It's one of three scotrail 156's I need for haulage. I hope I get it when I'm next in Glasgow.

I was able to get a ride on this on a Alloa to Glasgow Queen Street service today, it is clear that Brodies did a good job on this, the only thing I seemed to notice wrong were that the on-train announcements seemed to be rather muffled in sound. Other than that, good to see it back in service.

Does anyone know what lines 156478 has been working on recently? Thanks.
Pretty much a mixture of everything apart from the WHL.

Thanks for that. I still hope to make a trip to Glasgow soon and travel on it and the other 2 Scotrail 156s I need for haulage.

I also need three for haulage - 156433/45/93.
I have had 478 twice - first time in 2009 from Annan to Carlisle and then in 2014 from East Kilbride to Glasgow Central.

It was on Glasgow Central - Edinburgh via Shotts on Monday 
Although I didn't get the chance to sample the seating as it was slightly busy

Does anyone know if 156478 has been out and about in the Glasgow area this week? I'm doing a Glasgow Roundabout on Friday so I hope to catch up with it and the other 2 Scotrail 156s I need.
It worked the 1657 Kilmarnock (from Newcastle) to Glasgow tonight.

It's working on Queen St routes today and *should* overnight at Eastfield so will be on a Queen st diagram tomorrow. Things can change as always though!

I finally managed to red pen 156478 yesterday. It sat in plat 7 at Glasgow Cent for most of the day but finally came out to play on the 17:18 to Edinburgh Waverley, which also had winner for haulage 156439. So Happy Days. One Scotrail 156 to get.
