Class 158 Relivery First ScotRail

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
The 40 ScotRail Class 158s were repainted from National Express ScotRail livery into First Group livery at Glasgow Works (Springburn) between December 2005 and September 2008.
