SWD Transport
Which Operator?
One of the train fleets due to retire from daily service to and from Glasgow Central is the Class 350's currently with TransPennine Express. This example - 350403 - was captured on 21/09 as it awaited time to depart to Corkerhill for overnight stabling.
350403 was involved in a collision with horses which resulted in a lengthy withdrawal whilst repairs took place. The driving trailer involved was (apparently) sent to Siemens in Germany for repair hence the length of time taken. It returned to service at the end of July.
The Class 350/4s are due to move to LNR when the new Class 397 units enter service on the Scotland - Manchester Airport services. This changeover is due to happen soon so there was evidently no desire to re-apply vinyls to a unit due to move elsewhere in the short term - meaning this unit is running around without any indication of who uses it.
