The 334s can be found operating over almost the whole electrified ScotRail network:

  • Helenburgh/Balloch - Airdrie/Drumgelloch
  • Dalmuir/Milngavie - Glasgow Central Low Level - Motherwell - Larkhall/Lanark
  • Dalmuir/Milngavie - Glasgow Queen Street Low Level - High Street/Sprinburn
  • Glasgow Central - Gourock/Wemyss Bay
  • Glasgow Central - Ayr/Ardrossan/Largs
  • Glasgow Central - Neilston/Newton/Cathcart Cirlce (rarely)

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.

The Class 334 are to be removed from most Ayrshire and Inverclyde services, with Class 380 units taking on these services, and the Class 334 units heading to operate Edinburgh to Helensburgh/Milngavie services.

Two of the units are named, these are:

334001 Donald Dewar
334021 Larkhall
