Three Class 320/4s entered traffic with ScotRail this week.
Frank H is quite right - many services run as 3 car - these 4 car units should have been kept as such rather than cutting out one coach. Probable justification would be to retain flexibility of an all 3 car fleet - and 4 might not fit easily in depots - but what that ignores what travellers want - space and a seat preferred!

Great Northern could also cascade their 13 Class 321's to Abellio Scotrail unless its to be cascaded to Northern Rail or Abellio Greater Anglia along with Class 317's when the Class 377/2's & Class 377/5's will be cascaded to be used on Great Northern from Southern & Thameslink once the Class 700/1's and Class 700/0's are to be in service from April.

Transferred to boost capacity poses 1 question. Why take 3x4 car units and make them 3x3 car units. You've lost 25% passenger capacity. They could have boosted it more by leaving them as 4 car units.
