They were the third variety of British Rail's then-standard 1972 design for suburban EMUs, which eventually encompassed 755 vehicles and five classes (Class 313/314/315/507/508). Able to operate from 25 kV overhead line only, the fleet works inner-suburban services on the Strathclyde rail network in Scotland. The Class 314's can run to a top speed of 70 mph. Sixteen Class 314 3-car units were introduced in late 1979 to operate on the then newly opened Argyle Line and were used on both this and the North Clyde Line routes until 2002, when the scrapping of the elderly Class 303 stock led to much stock cascading within the Strathclyde transport network. The Class 314 was based on the experimental Class 445 or "PEP" unit, the design of which spawned the sister Class 313 and Class 315 units which are used extensively in the London commuter area. In line with the other PEP-based classes, the Class 314 units consist of two outer motor cars with an unpowered trailer vehicle in the middle, giving a technical description of DMSO+PTSO+DMSO. The coaches are of integral aluminium alloy construction based on a steel underframe. Each 3-car set can seat up to 220 people, and following the standard practice in the Glasgow suburban sector, peak time services can be formed by operating two units in multiple to form a 6-car train. Since 2002, they are mostly found working on the Cathcart Circle Line services to Cathcart, Neilston and Newton. A small number of units also usually work Inverclyde Line services to Gourock and Wemyss Bay, mostly during peak hours. They are also seen on the Ayrshire Coast Line occasionally, particularly when extreme weather affects the availability of other ScotRail EMUs. From 21 November 2012, the Class 314s are also seen operating the Paisley Canal Line during off-peak times following the electrification of the branch.
