Glasgow-Edinburgh lines

(redirected from Glasgow to Edinburgh Lines)

There are five electrified railway lines linking Glasgow with Edinburgh, the two largest cities in Scotland. These are, from north to south:

  • Glasgow–Edinburgh via Cumbernauld line: uses the Cumbernauld Line and Edinburgh–Dunblane line
  • Glasgow–Edinburgh via Falkirk line
  • North Clyde Line: Glasgow–Edinburgh via Airdrie and Bathgate
  • Shotts Line: Glasgow–Edinburgh via Shotts
  • Glasgow–Edinburgh via Carstairs line

Historically, the first line between Glasgow and Edinburgh was the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, equivalent to today's Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line.

At a conference in 2009, major upgrades were proposed for completion by 2016.[1] The first of these was the Airdrie–Bathgate rail link, completed in late 2010. The Glasgow–Edinburgh via Falkirk line was electrified in 2017.[2] The Shotts Line was electrified in 2019.
