ScotRail has fitted power sockets to the first of 40 Class 334s, as part of a £36 million upgrade.

The three-car electric multiple units are being upgraded as part of a project that will end in 2017. Alstom is carrying out the work at Polmadie depot in Glasgow.

The work includes fitting free on-board WiFi, while improved heating and air-conditioning will be added during further refurbishments from next summer. This forms part of Eversholt Rail’s investment of £36.1 million to improve the passenger environment and reliability of the trains.
