Wemyss Bay to Glasgow Central onboard Abellio ScotRail 318267 (26th June 2021)

Описание: Welcome to the first onboard ride of 2021! Today we take Abellio ScotRail 318267 working headcode 1W18 which is the 1749 Wemyss Bay to Glasgow Central service on Saturday 26th June 2021. On route, we will be calling at: Inverkip, Branchton, Drumfrochar, Whinhill, Port Glasgow, Bishopton, Paisley Gilmour Street and finally Glasgow Central. So sit back, grab a cup of tea and enjoy the hellfire thrash of this 318 as it powers its way up the Inverclyde line with a maximum speed of 75mph so you can hear the excellent screams from the Traction motors.

If you want to skip to certain parts of the journey, I’ll link the good parts if you don’t want to watch it all.
