Class 314 Information:
====================

Operator : Scotrail on behalf of SPT
Built:  1979-1980 by British Rail Engineering Ltd.
Power Supply: Overhead  25Kv AC 
Design speed: 75Mph
Formation: 3 car units consisting of DMSO+TSO+DMSO
Multiple Working : Tightlock compatible units (313-323)

	Sixteen Class 314 units were introduced into the 
	former "Strathclyde Transport" network in 1980 
	to complement the existing fleet of Class 303 
	"Blue Trains". These units worked exclusively on 
	the North Glasgow network on Helensburgh/Balloch/
	Milngavie to Airdrie/Motherwell services. 
	
	When new, the sets appeared in BR blue/grey 
	livery as was standard also with the 303s at the 
	time. Soon after, this gave way to "Strathclyde 
	Transport" orange and black, and recently with 
	the formation of SPT, a number of sets now 
	wear the traditional blood and custard livery. 
	
	Cascades caused by the introduction of class 334 
	"Juniper" units have caused the 314s to be kicked 
	from their home territory by Class 318s. They 
	now operate suburban services on the Cathcart 
	Circle and Neilston/Newton lines.
