There's two RailTours due to run over the A2B route this Saturday. Has anyone got the tomes of when they'll pass the new stations?

Thanks.

Class 37s Spitfire Railtours; Edinburgh to Edinburgh
Bathgate 12:30
Drumgelloch 12:50

Deltic Pathfinder Railtours; Crewe to Edinburgh
Drumgelloch 12:37
Bathgate 13:09

There are no published times between those points

However, this is likely to change as there are currently not enough staff trained
So instead of passing somewhere around Caldercruix it is likely one of them will be held at either of those points whilst the staff crossover
If they are both on time, then it will be the Deltic which gets held

Yes, Network Rail has agreed in principle to allow access for railtours every Saturday until the line opens in December
This is to assist with staff training
Again, the times through Airdrie - Bathgate will all be quite similar, to keep the requirement at the minimum and allow up to three hours for delays of the arrival of the railtour (after 15:00 it will be dark)

Saturday 13 November
Bathgate 12:30
Drumgelloch 12:50

Other railtours have been arranged to Edinburgh for this reason, and many will be routed via Bathgate in one direction accordingly
