Normally Class 314 do this route but ocasionally you do see Class 334 and Class 318 as well. In 2010 it was planned that Class 320 would replace the 314's on this route but in June 2009 it was reveiled that the 314's would stay on till 2015 for the Commonwealth games.
On football days at Hampden a extra train goes from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida. Also if there is any problem on the Neilston branch, trains can terminate at Muirend because there is a crossrail there. Its the same with the Newton branch and Kings Park station.
