This was just a standard ECS working - I think that sometimes they just put anything in the destination blind to say that it is not a passenger working
If you look at a vid from the 90's, you will see that the 303's are looking very very old. You can hear at 1:12 the old noises made. The front of it is very ugly too. Shame but they served their time well.
Used to get them from shettleston to airdrie every weekend in the late 60s early 70s as we went to my grandparents in airdrie.Also got them into Queen Street.
All that changed in 1973 when we moved to forfar and boy do i miss them.
ah the good old days, when trains used to be orange-coloured

What replaced the service, For e.g When london midland took over central trains the class 170 to liverpool lime street was replaced with class 350's

Class 320's covers most North Clyde Line services along with Class 334's and Class 318's. The Class 334's are supposedly the replacment.

@Sugababeslover I think they're quite pretty, actually. Shame I never got to travel on one before they were withdrawn.

I didn't know that the 334's were around in 2002.
Sugababeslover 2 years ago
They were, because they replaced 303s.

Amazing video! Added to my favourites. Wanted to find the last 303's and old 318's. Cheers!
Sugababeslover 2 years ago
Yeah the old 318s were much better. Down here, we still have similar units, the 317/6s, they have the same body but 2 + 2 seats.

303 my fav emu ever! great capture added to favs!:)
its a national disgrace that only one 303 (a mixed set at that) was kept. and the 311 even in worse state at coatbridge
scottishrailways 2 years ago
You're right there.
The 311 looks really bad. The windows are different and the livery isn't even Scottish!
I aint to bothered aboutt he 303 if i'm honest. I think it's good to be a mixed unit. Shows of both liverys. However, I know whatcha mean lol!
