During the day anyway there seems to be a set stabled at Tweedbank's Platform 2 (left) while Edinburgh trains come and go from Platform 1. I have long given up hope that the last units will ever be painted out of the pre-2008 livery. At least it gives a bit of variety. 4th February 2018

Activity at Tweedbank during the late morning of 16 June 2017. On the left, at platform 1, is ScotRail 158734 recently arrived as the 1024 from Edinburgh Waverley. Alongside at platform 2 is sister unit 158725, stabled out of use. In the foreground is Borders Bus service 72, the 0954 ex-Selkirk, about to exit onto Tweedbank Drive and head for Melrose.
