This Scotrail train from Glasgow Central on route to Ayr photographed travelling at high speed passed the Irvine Bogside.
The Class 380 Desiro is a type of electric multiple-unit train that operates on the national railway network in Scotland.
The Siemens "Desiro UK" family also includes units of 185, 350, 360, 444 and 450.
The trains operate Abellio ScotRail services in the Ayrshire and Inverclyde region of Scotland and had originally been intended for the cancelled Glasgow Airport Rail Link. The construction was awarded to Siemens and announced by Transport Scotland on 11 July 2008.
A total of 38 sets were ordered, comprising 22 three-car and 16 four-car units. Stations along the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line underwent platform extension works to allow the use of the longer trains. The trains were specified to have full access for disabled people and to have streamlined end corridor connections. On the unveiling of the first completed vehicle, it was announced that the fleet would be divided into two sub-groups, with the 3-car units Class 380/0 and the 4-car as Class 380/1.
In September 2010, commissioning of the fleet was suspended by ScotRail due to technical issues with the trains. The reliability issues and extended commissioning period resulted in an initially reduced service on parts of the ScotRail network, including the newly re-opened Airdrie-Bathgate line.
The fleet is based at Glasgow Shields Road TMD. Introduction of the fleet resulted in the cascading of the Class 334 "Juniper" and Class 318 fleet which previously operated the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line. The North Berwick Line operations was a Class 322 fleet replacement. The Class 334 "Juniper" stock were cascaded onto the North Clyde Line to Edinburgh Waverley, the Class 318s were cascaded onto the Argyle Line, and Class 322 cascaded onto the Wakefield Line with Northern Rail.
The fleet was introduced into public service on 8 December 2010 with 380111 operated the 16:26 from Paisley Gilmour Street to Ayr, followed on 9 December 2010 by 380102 and 380001 which worked the 15:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr service.
The North Berwick Line has been using these trains since 2011.
From 21 November 2012, the Class 380 are also seen operating the Paisley Canal Line. Electrification of the section of line from Corkerhill to Paisley Canal, to a plan devised by a ScotRail and Network Rail alliance, began in July 2012 and was completed in November 2012. The electrification works were undertaken during night time and weekend possessions, resulting in the route closing after 8pm on Monday to Thursday evenings, all day on Saturdays, and for an eight-day period in October, with work starting on 29 September 2012 and intending to be completed by 8 November 2012. Class 314 and Class 380 "Desiro" electric multiple units supplemented the existing Class 156 "Super Sprinter" diesel multiple units from energisation of the wires in November 2012. From the timetable change in December 2012, the Class 156 "Super Sprinter" were moved to other routes.
Following the December 2014 timetable change, with the electrification of the Whifflet Line, services to Lanark were re-routed into Glasgow Central High Level. Alongside the usual Class 318's and Class 320's, the Class 380s have often been used on the route.
Class 380s were due to operate some services on the newly electrified line between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk, but this has yet to commence amid suggestions that the electrification of the line was running 6 months late.

In September 1976 Class 40, 40044 ran away whilst working the 7Z20 stone train from Peak Forest to Whitemoor Yard. The train was derailed and the following 12 loaded wagons ploughed into the rear cab. it was thought the locomotive might have to be cut up on site but it was later removed to Crewe Works, in a surprise move the locomotive was repaired, not emerging until March 1980. It continued in traffic until January 1985. The accident occured at Chinley and was photographed shortly after being rerailed.

The Class 365's are to be used to fill the gap between Class 158 & 170 units leaving for Northern and the delayed Class 385 entry to service due to their windscreen issue which Hitachi are looking for a solution to.
So I passed by a couple pictures taken by the beautiful Perina McGinnis and Strawberry Singh that depicted "Yearbook Photos" I thought the idea was too cute and here I am!

Latest recipient of a photo clean up.
I took this shot whilst window hanging from the 0635 Bristol Plymouth 1V18 with Neptune at the head. 50006 had not long been out of Doncaster after her mid life overhaul and we were just about to attack rattery bank from a standing start when Exeter raced through at the head of 0624 Penzance Paddington 1A15. Typical Bath Road allocated engine, I think all locos look much better with a healthy dollop of grime and Bath Road had a real shortage of Fairy Liquid for as long as i could remember. Note the milk tanks.
Class 47 47812 is pictured heading south through Doncaster on a centre road, with a Scarborough to Ipswich charter, on July 11th 2015. Class 66759 was on the rear. I first saw 47812 at Durham during December 1967 when it carried 1916.
Class 40 40122 (D200) stands on the stops at Marylebone after the arrival of a BR evening dinner charter from Banbury on 30th April 1985. The outward train was worked by 35028 'Clan Line'. Photo: Ivan Stewart Collection.

In the summer of 1996 Class 60 no.60035 passes Bedlinog with a loaded MGR from Cwmbargoed Disposal Point to Aberthaw.
This was around the time Class 60s replaced pairs of Class 37s on these trains and this is the first time I saw a Class 60 on the branch. I never been back to the line since but will make the effort again one day as the scenary is superb.

I have not actually seen Wrath of Khan (blasphemy, I know) so this model is based on the Miranda Class refits in DS9. Like always, to the same scale as the Enterprise set (and now to the Defiant as well).
I saw somewhere that the 1x1 plate with handle was released in light bley in a limited edition Jurassic World set. Can anyone confirm?
