Eight-car Class 385 trains were due to be introduced on the Edinburgh-Glasgow route from next week.
Using ‘385/1s’, the trains are able to operate following platform extension work. Their introduction comes shortly after the first anniversary of the first trains entering traffic on July 24 2018. Sixty-two of the 70 electrics are now in traffic with ScotRail.
