First ScotRail inherited a fleet of [[British Rail Class 150|Class 150]], [[British Rail Class 156|Class 156]], [[British Rail Class 158|Class 158]], [[British Rail Class 170|Class 170]], [[British Rail Class 314|Class 314]], [[British Rail Class 318|Class 318]], [[British Rail Class 320|Class 320]] and [[British Rail Class 334|Class 334s]] from National Express, as well as [[British Rail Mark 2|Mark 2 carriages]] and [[Sleeper Either Class|Mark 3 sleepers]] for use on the [[Caledonian Sleeper]].

First ScotRail contracted [[DB Cargo UK|EWS]] to haul the Caledonian Sleeper services.<ref>{{cite press release |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060613021304/http://ews-railway.co.uk/cmsystem/news_article.asp?guid=%7B7EC09DB6-E6E0-4033-B9DA-223618C87FF9%7D |url = http://ews-railway.co.uk/cmsystem/news_article.asp?guid=%7B7EC09DB6-E6E0-4033-B9DA-223618C87FF9%7D |archive-date = 13 June 2006 |title = Operating enhancements for First Scotrail sleeper to be delivered by EWS and Axiom Rail |publisher = English Welsh & Scottish |date = 26 May 2006}}</ref> [[British Rail Class 90|Class 90s]] were used south of [[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh]] and [[Glasgow Central railway station|Glasgow Central]] with [[British Rail Class 67|Class 67s]] used on the portions to [[Fort William railway station|Fort William]], [[Aberdeen railway station|Aberdeen]] and [[Inverness railway station|Inverness]]. A dedicated pool was also created due to the need to fit cast steel brakes. Three Class 90s were repainted in First ScotRail livery with EWS logos.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = Hybrid identity for Scottish Class 90s |magazine = Rail |issue = 541 |date = 7 June 2006 |page = 7}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title = EWS paints first Class 90 for ScotRail |magazine = [[Today's Railways UK]] |issue = 55 |date = July 2006 |page = 51}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title = Class 90 gets First Group livery |magazine = The Railway Magazine |issue = 1266 |date = October 2006 |page = 7}}</ref>

For a short time in 2005, the Edinburgh - [[North Berwick Line]] services were operated by [[DB Cargo UK|English Welsh & Scottish]] [[British Rail Class 90|Class 90s]] with former [[Virgin Trains]] [[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3 carriages]] and a [[Driving Van Trailer]]. In late 2005, five [[British Rail Class 322|Class 322s]] were transferred from [[National Express East Anglia|One]] to replace these.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = Class 322s return north |magazine = [[Rail Magazine]] |issue = 519 |date = 3 August 2005 |page = 28}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title = 322s return to Scotland |magazine = [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue = 1253 |date = September 2005 |page = 71}}</ref> Following an refurbishment performed by [[Hunslet-Barclay]] of [[Kilmarnock]] between 2006 and 2007, all Class 322s had their capacity increased from 252 passengers to 293.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = First Class 322 is overhauled |magazine = [[Rail Magazine]] |issue = 538 |date = 26 April 2006 |page = 25}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title = Final 322 Outshopped |magazine = [[Rail Magazine]] |issue = 560 |date = 28 February 2007 |page = 50}}</ref>

During January 2007, public calls were made for the refurbishments of First ScotRail's Class 158 diesel multiple units, particularly in regards to the toilet facilities.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/6249091.stm |title = Fury over faeces dumped on tracks |publisher = BBC News |date = 11 January 2007}}</ref> One year later, work commenced on the refurbishment of 25 Class 158s, which involved repainting, new seating, extra luggage space, the addition of new customer information systems,<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.concept-applications.com/case_study2.php |title = Railcare Springburn Class 158 Scotrail Internal refurbishment |publisher = Concept Applications |access-date = 28 June 2010 |archive-date = 26 July 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100726012631/http://www.concept-applications.com/case_study2.php |url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.railcare-uk.com/files/downloads/Class%20158%20Express.pdf |title = Renovation: Class 158 Express (DMU) | publisher = RailCare |access-date = 28 June 2010 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110715150727/http://www.railcare-uk.com/files/downloads/Class%20158%20Express.pdf |archive-date = 15 July 2011 |df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/reports/corporate/j11465-04.htm |title = Delivery against our priorities: Improved connections |date = 17 December 2009 |publisher = Transport Scotland |access-date = 29 May 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100303215610/http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/reports/corporate/j11465-04.htm |archive-date = 3 March 2010 |url-status = dead }}</ref> and the fitting of the requested toilet retention tanks.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.scotsman.com/news/satellite-loo-blocker-leaves-scotrail-chiefs-flushed-success-1614073 |title = Satellite loo-blocker leaves ScotRail chiefs flushed with success |publisher = scotsman.com |first = Alastair |last = Dalton |date = 11 August 2012}}</ref>

In September 2008, Transport Scotland announced that all First ScotRail trains, including those previously operated on behalf of the [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]], would be repainted in a new blue livery with white [[saltire]] markings on the carriage ends.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/ScotRail-25th-anniversary |title = ScotRail 25th Anniversary Publicity Materials |publisher = Transport Scotland |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100706013623/http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/ScotRail-25th-anniversary |archive-date = 6 July 2010 }}</ref> This rebranding placed less emphasis on the ''First'' and was marketed as ''"ScotRail: Scotland's Railway"''.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotrail-marks-birthday-with-saltire-look-1-1091818 |location = Edinburgh |work = The Scotsman |first = Alastair |last = Dalton |title = ScotRail marks birthday with Saltire look |date = 23 September 2008 |access-date = 19 November 2016 |archive-date = 17 January 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160117022445/http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotrail-marks-birthday-with-saltire-look-1-1091818 |url-status = live }}</ref> The first unit to receive the new livery was 170434, unveiled at Glasgow Queen Street on 22 September 2008.

During December 2008, ScotRail started operated a set of [[DB Cargo UK|DB Schenker]] [[British Rail Mark 2|Mark 2 carriages]] on a peak-hour [[Fife Circle Line]] service hauled by a Class 67. A second set was also operated for a while.{{CN|date=December 2023}}

In July 2008, Transport Scotland funded the acquisition of 22 three-carriage and 16 four-carriage [[British Rail Class 380|Class 380 ''Desiros'']] with the first entering service in December 2010. These trains operated Ayrshire and Inverclyde services, adding extra capacity and allowed the cascade of existing stock to the new Glasgow to Edinburgh services via the reopened Airdrie to Bathgate line.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/node/3343 |title = New Electric Trains for Scotland's Growing Railways |publisher = Transport Scotland |date = 11 July 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091217065011/http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/node/3343 |archive-date = 17 December 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view//scotland-orders-desiro-fleet.html |title = Scotland orders Desiro fleet |date = 11 July 2008 |publisher = [[Railway Gazette International]] |access-date = 10 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120610004909/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/scotland-orders-desiro-fleet.html |archive-date = 10 June 2012 |url-status = dead}}</ref>
