Makes so much sense to split this service.
Been up and down on the route, when it was a 38 years ago and when it became an X38 and done a few runs Stirling to Edinburgh and found it very relaxing- but also very long winded and you can end up with a numb bum! I've also been on the route a few times Falkirk-Edinburgh and Linlithgow to Edinburgh to see what the situation was like when LCB came along.
The busier bit has always been Stirling to Linlithgow.
Which is odd as you would think the bit from Linlithgow to Edinburgh would be the busiest bit!
Very few people going from Falkirk to beyond Linlithgow.
I always thought they would keep it the way they ran it for a while, 15 minutes Stirling to Lithgy and 30 to Edinburgh as that met the demand that I saw, but of course that all changed when the Green and Cream came along.
I would have thought the X38 would have experienced a few more bums on seats when ScotRail changed the Stirling to Edinburgh trains to miss out Polmont and Linlithgow.
