    Dalmarnock - is there still work to be done?

    Haymarket

    I see that the revamped Haymarket officially opens today. Has anyone experienced it yet? It must be better than before and will be a huge improvement. I have not seen the plans or any photos yet, but understand that there is a new concourse. I'm looking forward to a visit soon.

    Apologies if I have missed this on previous threads, but does anyone know what work is being done at Newton, Lanarkshire? It appears as if they are building a new platform in between the split in the tracks where it divides to southside of Glasgow and the WCML into Glasgow. This is a bit...
