Class 334
Breadcrumb navigation
First ScotRail operate a fleet of 40 Alstom built Class 334 "Juniper" three-car Electric Multiple Units.
The 334s can be found operating over the whole electrified SPT network:
A pair of 334 had a test trip to North Berwick, although they have not been used on that route in passenger service.
The first use of the class in passenger service was 3rd April 2001, when 334010 and 334020 worked the 10:05 Glasgow Central to Gourock.
It has been suggested that the Class 334s may be used on the Airdrie to Bathgate line if the line reopens. This would result in a drop of 20% in accommodation for passengers, compared to the Class 320.
It is expected that the Class 334 are to be removed from Ayrshire services and most Inverclyde services, with Class 318 units taking on these services, and the Class 334 units heading to North Clyde and Argyle line duties.
Two of the units are named, these are:
334001 Donald Dewar
334021 Larkhall
Class 334 Formations

The Class 334 are due their first refurbishment in the next 2 years, prior to being introduced on the Airdrie to Bathgate line.
