The Edinburgh to Glasgow (E+G) is a 42 mile long route from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley and in case you didn’t know the stations include Glasgow Queen Street, Bishopbriggs, Lenzie, Croy, Falkirk High, Springburn, Stepps, Gartcosh, Greenfaulds, Cumbernauld, Camelon, Falkirk Grahamston, Polmont, Linlithgow, Edinburgh Park, Haymarket, Edinburgh Waverley. The line uses (uses) The class 170 The class 170 is a 2/3 car DMU (Turbostar) which was constructed by Bombardier and ADtranz between 1999 and 2005 it has been in service from 1999 and has served First TransPennine Express, ScotRail, Transport For Wales, Central Trains, Northern, Cross Country, East Midlands Railway and West Midlands Railway, most of which it is still in service with to this day. The class 158 The class 158 is a 2/3 car DMU (Express Sprinter) constructed by BREL between 1989 and 1992 and has been in service since 1990 until the present day and has served ScotRail, Central Trains, Arriva Trains Wales, East Midlands Trains, East Midlands Railway, First Great Western, Great Western Railway, South West Trains, South Western Railway, Transport For Wales, and Northern. A lot of these operators have rebranded but the rest (other than Central Trains which went completely out of service) it is still with The class 156 The class 156 is a 2 car DMU (Super Sprinter) built between 1987 and 1989 by MetroCammel and has been in service since 1989 until the present day and has served Strathclyde Transport, ScotRail, Central Trains, Northern, Arriva Rail North, Arriva Trains Northern, First North Western, East Midlands Trains, East Midlands Railway, and Greater Anglia, most of which it is no longer with, going out of service, electric replacement, etc.
I would prefer it set post-electrification with the Class 385 personally, simply to differentiate it more from the TSC version. The Class 156, Class 158 and Class 170 would be better included with another line like the WHL extension or Edinburgh to Dundee.
The reason I picked that period is because I didn’t want just the 385 but I guess it could be around 2018 when it was 380 and 365 with the 385 just rolling in to service
Does the hst not run on this route as well as that is a very interesting and good train? Better than the stated rolling stock.
Not in that time period, ScotRail hadn’t got them yet, and it doesn’t run Edinburgh to Glasgow. You would see it at Glasgow Queen Street, Haymarket and Edinburgh Waverley only
Good idea, and if we ever get a route like Edinburgh to Dundee then the stuff from there can layer onto Edinburgh to Glasgow further increasing the variety of trains seen.
156s and 158s on the E-G in First era? I've never seen that one. At best they'd be going off at Murrayfield or the area around Springburn, but not the full E-G.
158s and 156s - Glasgow Queen Street <> Falkirk Grahamston, Edinburgh Waverley <> Glasgow Central (Only would up to Haymarket though, you have a point), Glasgow Queen Street <> Anniesland (would only see it at Queen Street same with Oban & Maliag), Edinburgh Waverley <> Dunblane/Alloa. but yes I should have specified.
I didn't know they ran the Dunblane and Alloa lines (well, the 156 anyway), and the same with the Glasgow - Falkirk Grahamston one, thought they were just 170 with an occasional 158 if there was a need for it.
