Where can I see 334 units?   
I am taking advantage of a GNER offer next week and going to Scotland
for 15 return. Can anyone tell me the best place to see 334 units
please?

Originally introduced on the route from Glasgow to Ayr, but also on other 
SPT routes.  Glasgow Central is a good starting point.  SPT do a variety of 
cheap fares, including Roundabout 
(http://www.spt.co.uk/Tickets/roundabout.html) & Daytripper 
(http://www.spt.co.uk/Tickets/daytripper.html).

Glasgow Central High Level and Partick or Hyndland should get you most/all 
334s in service that day.  A short trip on the Paisley Canal branch will get 
you a trip past Shields and Corkerhill depots to see out of service units.

I'd say Clapham Junction during the morning and evening peaks.  You'll
easily see 334 units - probably even more than that.

OK - I'll get my coat ....

Thanks for the advice. I'll get a Roundabout ticket when I get to
Glasgow. I have from 13.00 - 16..0 there so I should see plenty in
that time.
