158702-scr.jpg (69079 bytes)

The Scotrail 158 702 poked its head out of Edinburgh Waverley platform 15 ready to go to Glasgow on a sunny Wednesday morning. This unit was one of the first to be treated to Scotrail’s refit which includes new seats, new carpets, a new livery, occasionally functional air conditioning in the first class portion and a new nameplate. Unfortunately, it does not include a quieter and more powerful engine which the unit badly needs. By the way, has anyone noticed that Scottish Region 158s have a snowplough-shaped thing at the front whereas the rest of ’em have just a flat slab around the automatic coupler?

Oh yeah, and out of interest, they seem to have taken to naming 158s up here: for the Far North Line 125th Anniversary (Inverness-Wick/Thurso) which was a couple weeks ago in July 1999, they named a 158 precisely that. Unfortunately I can’t remember the number of that unit. The anniversary coincided with a 15-minute journey time reduction on the Far North Line which is still predominantly a 60mph railway.

158xxx-glc.jpg (63873 bytes)

This photo was disappointingly pale, but I think that has something to do with Scotrail's new livery which doesn't seem to compliment itself on film.

This is a rare occasion on which 158s made it into Glasgow Central alongside class 91s. The Queen Street tunnels were shut due to engineering works during 3 weekends in July 1999 and the Edinburgh and Glasgow shuttle (then 158-hauled) were diverted via Falkirk Grahamston, Greenhill Lower Junction, Cumbernauld, Coatbridge Central, the R&C, and joined the West Coast Mainline at Rutherglen before belting it into Glasgow Central. The total journey time varied between 1 hour and 10 mins and 1 hour and 30 mins. The journey time was further lengthened by the need to pick up a route conductor at Carmyle due to the lack of driver route knowledge, whereas SPT drivers would not have had unit knowledge for the 158.

Belting at 50mph down the WCML between Rutherglen and Bridge St Junction was fun: the ride was somewhat rough, but only as bad as expected from the riding characteristics of the 158. It felt somewhat weird to be running a 158 under the electric wires at that point.
