  1. Nice to see the Class 156 units to be refurbished to be used in the north of Scotland. Including Inverness-Wick and Thurso. And Fort William-Kyle of Lochalsh and Oban.

  2. The Class 156 that will be used on the local lines in the Scottish Highlands will provide better rail journeys and offer more capacity. With some cascaded from other rail operators that ScotRail inherited the Class 156s from.
