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.

I received a PFx brick and speaker as a prize from last year’s OcTRAINber courtesy of Micahel Gale. I fitted the brick in my VR S Class – there was just room in the tender for the brick and speaker. Michael included a light board and four LEDs. I used three at the front, and if you look carefully you should spot the fourth providing a flickering glow from the firebox.
The sounds are from the provided steam loco profile with the addition of a recording of a Victorian Railways five chime whistle. Apologies to purists for the incorrect beat since the S Class has three cylinders.
Thanks Michael for providing the prize.

A UID Class 40 passing through Earlestown in Oct 1975. I took this with my first 35mm SLR Halina 3000 with a 45mm/F2.8 lens with the fastest shutter speed being 250! But it did have a rather handy built in light meter.
The station building looks rather black, still smoke stained by environmental issues of the day and long gone steam trains. Thankfully its a little brighter now and platform three is back in use. At this time I knew most of the station staff sadly now all passed away Seth, Perksy (Alan Perks) and Gail Simpson {nee Morley} bless R.I.P. This was back in the day when the station staff white washed the platform edge and seen out the Holyhead's on platform 4 with a lamp. The Gasometer has long since gone just like the 40.
The original Prinz slide was in very poor condition so big thanks to Digital Al for processing it.

News Zealand Railways DC class locos 4029/4726 are stabled with a ballast train at National Park Station during May 1986.
Built for the NZR by GM as the DA class (G12) between 1961-1968, most were rebuilt as the DC class (G22AR) by Clyde Engineering at Rosewater , South Australia in the late 70s/early 80s. Still carrying its original rebuild number 1553 on the nose, 4029 would have been one of the earliest rebuilds. It was originally DA1533.
