Branchton railway station
A Scotrail 6 car Class 380 train, heading to Paisley Gilmour Street. Normally services run only to Glasgow Central, but engineering works mean that Paisley is the terminus today.
Despite the platform being longe enough to accommodate the six car train, passengers are informed that they cannot exit to the platform from the rear coach (shown here).
