Class 158 units have doors that swing out from the bodyside and low stepboards. In some circumstances these could foul a platform edge, therefore the operation of these units is restricted, particularly in the West of Scotland.

Specifically this means they cannot at present be used in place of class 156 units on ScotRail services to Stranraer, Carlisle, Kilmarnock, Barrhead, East Kilbride, Paisley Canal, Oban, Fort William and Mallaig.

This page lists the routes within Scotland on which Class 158s are currently permitted to run.
