On 1 September 334 011 bursts out of Newton Street tunnel into
Greenock West station, heading for Glasgow. This is Scotland's longest tunnel at 1 mile 350 yards, or 1925 metres as the sign says. The disused tunnel of the Greenock Princes Pier branch crosses above it. The work going on behind the train seems to be a very modest platform extension: unlike other affected locations not much work is needed here to accommodate 8-car Class 380s come December.

Location: Greenock West
