The GEC motors used are the same as those on the 507/508/313/and GE 315s. They sound nice mind you, but down south we never did get the dynamic brakes to work LOL. The train is effectively a DC unit. The pantograph trailer has a transformer/rectifier under it, and supplies DC to the motor cars. I recall hearing of the crash too. The old 303 held up well really. Hopefully these old 314's keep on rolling for a while yet.

RIP Class 314. Sad that these are now scrapped as the Class 385s have replaced them.

[@prime6134]

EssexLad 8919 I whip the class 385 with my belt

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

The class 315 is better than the 313 and 314

[@JT-df3yz]

There is still 1 Class 314 remaining at Yoker Depot today (314209)

[@Scottish_Transport_Explorer]

@@Great_WesternTVFan doesn’t make the 314s bad

614209 at bo Ness a hydrogen train still in saltire livery

[@SynchroScore]

2 x 3 seating in the British loading gauge must be pretty cozy.

[@derekgibson3859]

I like the 314's and they looked best in the Strathclyde Orange and black livery, they looked ok in BR Blue/Trans-Clyde and Saltire livery, but in my opinion, the carmine livery we horrid and didn't look good on any units. Would love to see 1 314 get repainted into Stathclyde Livery and one donated for preservation or as an exhibit at the Glasgow Transport museum, which is generally poor and lacking in railway exhibits

[@ryanmcquade6157]

The class 314 was also used from Glasgow to whymes bay and gkasgow to gourock as well as the cathcart circle

[@FuliCuddlesFangirl]

Its time for the class 314 and 318 to go
Press 3 in chat for respect

[@railfan670]

class 318 still going

[@Jamiak.P]

It’s a shame these EMUs had to go as they were my favourite EMUs in terms of external appearance

[@Jamiak.P]

I’ve noticed that the Carmine and cream livery class 314s before Abellio took over the ScotRail franchise that the doors on some of the units didn’t have the cream on the doors extend down to the bottom of the body like some of the other units in Carmine and cream and instead matched the rest of the livery on those units

[@cmtransportvids]

Thanks for the cake

[@harrystrains3227]

Hello there i was going to ask if you can do the class 507 and class 508 emu review like this please

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

i recon these will go to london to help or replace 313s on the northern central line

[@randolphclarke4674]

this train terminates here no we’re getting 6 car class 717s

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

ahhh i see now

[@crownjulesgaming542]

Its a shame the 314 doesnt have door buttons because I like to press them

[@ryanmcquade6157]

Cathcart circle train went threw a red light ? If it had stayed still that would have the Motherwell train hit the cathcart train in the station . . still a mystery

[@crownjulesgaming542]

Also you said ATP instead of APT

No this is patrick i have never been to on the class 314 but i will miss it

[@nothisispatrick6180]

@@FuliCuddlesFangirl they where good trains they will be missed you should try get to glasgow to see one

[@glasgowandwestdunbartonshi8934]

@@FuliCuddlesFangirl I've never been on one either (I think)

[@annehobson2481]

i have been on a train thats cind of the same train (with out the pantogragh) on mersyrail

[@BillySnaddon]

These trains are truly awful and charging £12 for a return from Greenock to Glasgow is daylight robbery. There should be a discount in place for these things. The difference between the 314 and the new trains is the difference between comfort and pain for some and when I'm standing at the station and one of these comes round the bend I shake my head in disbelief that we are still using these relics.

[@railfan670]

its no the price of the train its the people at the ticket office, deal with it

[@MrBigStoop]

Two objects coming head on at 30mph still have an impact at 30mph not 60mph!

[@TrainsTrainsTrains]

+MrBigStoop When both units are travelling at 30mph and hit head on that’s an impact speed of 60mph.

[@MrBigStoop]

Glasgow Life It sounds completely counter intuitive but it's only 30mph.

[@MrBigStoop]

Newton's 3rd law of motion.
I have found a Mythbusters episode explaining it further.

Good Channel btw! ;)

[@rossbaillie5973]

MrBigStoop I do the higher physics course and I know that the collision would be at 60mph not 30mph

[@spdfatomicstructure]

They will add up. The momentum of the collision will add up
