The whole of Glasgow’s North Clyde - trains every 2 and a half - 3 minutes through Partick and Hyndland taking you as far west as Helensburgh, as far south as Larkhall, or as far east as Edinburgh. Frequency does dip at night and on Sundays, but trains are still fairly frequent at those times.

It does - extended dwells in most schedules at Bathgate, Airdrie, Coatbridge Sunnyside, High St, Charing Cross, Partick, Hyndland, Dalmuir and Dumbarton Central….most of these dwells are longer than 30 seconds (although by the looks of it not always).

Thanks! Noted for next time ;)

Went via condorrat and north carbrain

Yes, and in the north east of England - partly to these reciprocal arrangements probably.

The crew don’t work the route all day, just some trains between Dumfries and Carlisle, There are also some northern units that do the same. There are various existing threads on the subject - but these arrangements have existed since British Rail days I believe.

Yes, scotrail crews only know to Carlisle. There are also Northern crews who work some Dumfries to Carlisle services

A 156 stables overnight at Newcastle off of the 1613 from Glasgow to Newcastle. This forms the first Newcastle - Glasgow in the morning. If I remember correctly, a 156 is also given to Northern to operate some of their local services. This is off a morning train from Dumfries and goes back to...
