158701, the first of the fleet to be refurbished, forms the 08:55 service to Kyle of Lochalsh waiting to depart from platform 6 at Inverness on 25th November 2015.
It is a shame that two of the four bike spaces have been compromised in the refurbishment in order to fit an extra wheelchair berth. Not good news for End to End riders to John o Groats. Not many years ago ScotRail ran a "bike van" to cope with the demand. And, by the way, that puddle on the platform has needed fixing for years. How about it NR?
