Is anyone else against all this egip stuff? I prefer it the way it is just now to be honest. Just my opinion.
I am sceptical, fine with the electrification that makes sense.
Open to debate about if the Cumbernauld runs should move to the low level or not.
But I am not certain what benefit the dalmeny curve will make. I have a gut feeling that services from Linlithgow - Edinburgh will be slower as a result. I also can't see how they are going to path the fast trains when it is really only a two track railway.
At the moment Edinburgh - Glasgows are.
Falkirk High, Croy and Glasgow
Linlithgow, Polmont, Falkirk High and Glasgow, I hope that neither of these have additional stops put in at the new proposed station.
Likewise I fail to see the benefit of re-routing the stirling service via Gogar. They try and sell it as an interchange with a tram, but considering Edinburgh Park has got a tram stop why is that an improvement? You can change to the tram anyway!
I am told the route via Dalmeny and Gogar is physically shorter - so maybe re-route will be quicker.
We will see how the 6 tph is reduced when it is raining and Winchburgh s flooded!
