Like the class 303's, the next 12 months should see the end of class 101 workings at the Central.  Their current duties are the services to Paisley Canal and Whifflet.
The unique 101692 will inevitably be a casualty, a good prospect for preservation?
This was probably one of the last Craven built class 105/2 motor brake seconds to survive in Scotland.  Already down to 18 examples by 1974, displaced from their former strongholds on the Hamilton Circle and Lanark services by the spread of electification, all had gone by the end of the 1980's
The class 107's worked services from Glasgow Central from their introduction in 1960 until their demise in the mid 1990's.  107033 has lost one of the headcode panel covers revealing the indicator blinds still intact, although their use on Scottish internal services was limited. 
By the end of the 1980's, it had been expected that the Sprinters would have been fully introduced in Scotland, but problems with the class 155's and late deliveries of the class 158's caused some unfamiliar vehicles to be employed.  One such example was this class 108 which was one of six temporarily used on the Scottish Region.
Another class which appeared at this time were former Western Region class 120's, of which four units were used.  All the class 120's however were made up with class 101 centre cars.
Initially the class 150/2's were allocated to Haymarket and were rarely seen in the West, however they are now common throughout the central belt.
Class 156's have now established themselves throughout Scotland, from local services to East Kilbride, to longer distance services such as the Oban and Fort William routes.
