The 0800 to Glasgow Queen Street on Saturday 25 August is in the charge of a 7-car Class 385. I noticed a number of 385s at Eastfield depot, but out there on the EGML it is 365s doing most of the duties. To me, 385s look like maggots with an unfortunate mutation but I recall thinking the same about 380s which now seem comparatively beautiful.
