I did enjoy working on these units for the time that TPE operated them. I remember babysitting this one ECS from Glasgow Central to Ardwick for maintenance attention. A problem free run as it turned out. 😮‍💨#Class350 #Desiro #Siemens #TransPennineExpress #GlasgowCentral

The Caledonian Railway monogram carved above the Union Street exit to Glasgow's Central Station. This is a reminder that it was Caledonian Railway that built this station, and which first opened in 1879. #glasgow #sculpture #centralstation #glasgowcentral #caledonainrailway #glasgowhistory
