Glasgow to Edinburgh Lines

There are five electrified railway lines linking Glasgow with Edinburgh, the two largest cities in Scotland. These are, from north to south:


Historically, the first line between Glasgow and Edinburgh was the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, equivalent to today's Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line.

At a conference in 2009, major upgrades were proposed for completion by 2016.[1] The first of these was the Airdrie and Bathgate Project, completed in late 2010. The Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line was electrified in 2017[2]. The Shotts Line was electrified in 2019.
