A look across the platforms at Queen Street on 14 August. As can be seen this is very much Class 170 territory (as opposed to Glasgow Central where they're unknown). Usually however one or both of the other two DMU classes in Scotland is around somewhere, with 156s forming all WHL services, and 158s the usual fare on the Maryhill line.
