Title
A refurbished High Speed Train
Description
The HSTs currently still run to London but will be soon be replaced by new bi-mode trains. New overnight stock is also due to come into service on the Caledonian Sleeper. Conversely upgraded HSTs will be introduced on internal ScotRail services from 2018 replacing class 158 and 170 units. A new servicing depot is currently being built at Clayhills adjacent to the station. Work has also started on the Aberdeen to Inverness capacity improvements. Rail travel is still increasing so hopefully Aberdeen Joint Station will continue to serve for another 150 years. By 2019 ScotRail services to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness will be operated by refurbished High Speed Trains. The first of these units is seen at Aberdeen Station in September 2017.
