COMPILED BY GRAEME PICKERING
THE former Class 314 electric multiple unit converted to run on hydrogen as part of the University of St Andrews-led ‘Scottish Hydrogen Train Project’ has been decommissioned. A start was made on removing the equipment installed for the trials on the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway from No. 614209 (formerly No. 314209) in January. It is understood that some of it will be returned to Ballard Motive Solutions (formerly Arcola), which was a partner in the testing that was completed in August and September last year. Portable buildings associated with the project and the hydrogen fuelling facility at Bo’ness have also been removed. The unit was used as a testbed to demonstrate how existing rolling stock could be modified to operate on hydrogen. The university told The Railway Magazine that there were no updates to share on the project at this current moment.
