Designed and built specifically to improve journeys on Scotland’s busiest routes, the trains offer a spacious and modern interior, increasing capacity with over 168 extra seats per train.
This modern, electric fleet is part of ScotRail’s £475 million rolling stock investment, and their introduction follows the £858 million electrification of the line between Edinburgh and Glasgow by Network Rail in the UK.
Currently, the Class 385 is Scotland’s fastest train from 0-60mph, cutting journey times to 42 minutes between Scotland’s two major commercial and economic hubs.
This sustainable fleet produces zero emissions, improving air quality in train stations and contributing to Scotland’s world pioneering 2045 ‘net-zero society’ climate change target.
