Scottish Wiring Progressometer - Post 10.0 (dated 5th November 2018) - big time of switch-ons!
Shotts (due March 2019)
All mileages taken from Holytown Jct (1m 24ch) to Midcalder Jct (23m 11ch).
New signalling system for the route tested & commissioned.
The Shotts Line (eastern section) has been live as of the 4th of November; the ORR are due to sign the route off for electric traction near Christmas.
Holytown Jct (1m 24ch) to Midcalder Jct (23m 11ch)
Fully wired throughout on both lines; bespoke masts have been installed in the Carfin Cutting and now all bear wires.
East of the track sectioning cabinet at Addiewell, all wires are now LIVE.
Platforms are being extended at Carfin.
At Cleland, CCTV cameras & Customer Information Screens are being installed.
At Hartwood Station (6m 62ch), an entirely new DDA-compliant access route is being built, to allow removal of the old footbridge without the need for a replacement. CCTV/CIS improvements are also underway at the station.
The accommodation bridge at Hartwoodhill looks finished.
At Shotts station, Station Rd Bridge is being rebuilt, and platforms are being extended.
At Fauldhouse Station, CCTV and Customer Information Screens are being installed/improved.
Breich Station reopened after a 12-week closure. Platforms have been reprofiled, with access to the eastbound platform now coming from the north, avoiding the need for a new footbridge.
Addiewell Station's old footbridge has gone, and the New Footbridge almost complete. CIS screens and CCTV cameras are also being installed.
Edinburgh-Falkirk-Glasgow
All mileages taken from Queen Street High Level (0m 00ch) towards Haymarket (46m 02ch).
Electric services (Class 380s) running between Glasgow Queen Street High Level & Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk High (21m 63ch) in regular service; due to switch to Class 385 operation in December '18.
Via Falkirk Grahamston - LIVE as of 1/5/18. This includes
- Greenhill Upper Jct to Greenhill Lower Jct;
- Greenhill Lower Jct to Polmont Jct via Falkirk Grahamston;

- The "Larbert Triangle" (Larbert Jct, Carmuirs West Jct, and Carmuirs East Jct).
Now signed off for passenger service; Class 365s in operation as of 23/6/18.
As the OLE in the Grangemouth Terminal area fell under the SDA remit, it is assumed that the equipment is now to be treated as LIVE.
Larbert - Stirling - Dunblane/Alloa - LIVE as of 4/11/18
The "treat as LIVE" date for SDA has been set as the 4th of November; the ORR are due to sign the route off for electric traction near Christmas.
At Larbert, both main lines and the Down Passenger Loop are fully wired.
Wires extend north from Larbert to Stirling over both lines; all lines are fully wired within Stirling.
Wires extend north from Stirling, through Bridge of Allan, and through Kippenross Tunnel to Dunblane (where all tracks are also wired to the Limit of Wiring); the Alloa Branch is also fully wired.
New LED Signals at Stirling North have been commissioned.
Registration work may still need to be done at a few locations.
