A great move by ScotRail

[@lostockhall10d]

It's about time a British railway company has done this. They have had this type of carriage for decades in the rest of Europe.

153s have been around since the 90s.

A refreshingly simple video without inane commentary 👍

[@kieranstraveljourneys]

Mostly because I’m to shy to actually talk 😂

[@Skoda_xx]

I Saw it at Oban

[@Thomas_Ekstrom]

I wish our operators in Sweden did the same and let some space for bicycles and other sport equipments . Our biggest operator SJ only allows bikes in bags/boxes 👎

[@WildWildWeasel]

They need to stop using those old ass ancient stocks and upgrade to something with at least air conditioning. These are also as aerodynamic as a cinder block

[@gringo5583]

Is this Helensburgh hopper?

[@brianwilder5878]

What was the formation of stock when it came into "Queen Street" before it departure at 16:35

[@gringo5583]

Is this Helensburgh upper?

[@TheArkamedBat]

I want 1 carriage trains

[@johnclinton7706]

where they refurbished

[@kieranstraveljourneys]

Yes they were, you can see the interior in the video.

[@SlothyGal]

I do question why they thought that was a good idea

[@robertmorgan3935]

It's great for anyone wanting to take their bicycle from Glasgow Queen Street to locations on the West Highland Line such as Crianlarich and Fort William.

[@Greggs30806]

Because it was a good idea lol 😆😆

[@hoof2001]

Sorry, but curious. Is this the first day of service for a 30ish-year old train?

[@kieranstraveljourneys]

First day in service with Scotrail

[@martinbalmforth2665]

Good god, they got rid of these horrors around herecas they could not convert them without completely rebuilting to accomodate wheelchairs! They werecreplaced with brand bew 4 car DMUs! Duevto buses being faster and cheaper now around here, the line will soon close to passengers

[@Scottish_Transport_Explorer]

Bro, the west Highland line is really unlikely to close

[@MyLifeAsIsaac]

It’s the same train, I don’t get it

[@alecks5264]

it has space for 20 bikes and other upgrades

[@MyLifeAsIsaac]

@@alecks5264 ok.

[@andrewsmith2399]

You don't get it a class 153 it's for bikes and then connect a 156 to the bank to the chain ok I told you

[@MyLifeAsIsaac]

The ✈

[@JustClickApprove92]

Do you have to have a bike with you in order to sit in the class 153?

[@robertmorgan3935]

If the Class 156 was full and the 153 had seats spare I know what I'd do!

[@devon896]

You can sit where ever you want.

[@robertmorgan3935]

@@devon896 I would expect nothing less!

[@robertmorgan3935]

I read in one of the Rail Mags that there is a £10 supplement to use the converted Class 153 coaches.
