Was just wondering with the new 6 car possible Baby Pendos coming, where will they be stabled for Edinburgh services and where do the current 221s get kept for Edinburgh services?

Thanks

If you look on Open Train Times, VT trains seem to head for Polmadie overnight.
TP trains go to Corkerhill.
So several ECS workings to/from Glasgow overnight (via Carstairs).

Polmaise Junction depot?

I can only hope...

Ideally it would make it economically viable to operate a "Black Country Chieftan" as far as Stirling at least once a day.

Oops

I thought it was just wires North of Stirling that have been put on hold.

Are trains going to be dragged to the planned all new depot for electric units at Polmaise?

presumably the depot will be relocated. Makes no sense to wire Stirling if Alloa and Dunblane aren't done.
