The British Rail Class 334 Coradia Juniper is a suburban electric multiple unit passenger train built by Alstom in Birmingham. They are part of Alstom's Coradia Juniper family of trains, along with Classes 458 and 460.
The trains are operated by ScotRail and mainly run on the North Clyde Line on Helensburgh Central - Edinburgh, Springburn - Milngavie and Airdrie - Balloch services. However, they can also sometimes be seen on the Argyle Line on Dalmuir/Milngavie to Whifflet/Motherwell/Larkhall/Cumbernauld services. They were ordered by SPT/ScotRail (when part of National Express) for outer-suburban services in Glasgow.
