EK trains are very often late because of the weaknesses in the network east of Busby. A 2nd platform would help at EK and allow better scheduling. The passenger volume and 156 units with single leaf end doors don't help, the standing time is too long as people squeeze in. The 0759 from EK is a...

Allocation seems to be quite random and seems to change at random!

The 17:18 peak to Weymss Bay and the return 18:24 is still a 314 set. It runs most of the night.

Nothing unusual with the twitter rants. Don't understand how the social media teams cope!

The 1748 used to be a 6 car did it not? Ran from Corkerhill, did 1 trip and used to go into plat 11 after terminating from EK, join with the Barrhead local and run to Corkerhill. Many of them have a ticket examiner and guard in place (or 2 guards) so one can do revenue, one doors.

The creation of the second EK platform is badly needed to allow better reliability and reduce layover times at Central. Modern flats built might impinge on the space available though and make it more difficult than it needed to be. Would extending the Hairmyres Loop through the station not...

East Kilbride and Barrhead locals? I mean they don't need them as Scotrail have other plans, but they would meet criteria and 60mph is not likely to be a problem due to stopping patterns. This does ignore that diagrams are inter worked with other Kilmarnock/Carlisle services however.

If they replace 314s will they also stumble onto the the Paisley Canal line or is there enough 380s to avoid that?
