    I am horrified at how strict the rail operators are

    Rail fares are a nightmare to understand 1. I frequently use split ticketing to reduce travel costs and find I have to tell the ticket office staff which is the cheapest fare for each leg of the journey.

    I noticed that this service now travels from Westerton through Glasgow Queen St LL & Airdrie to Edinburgh. However, I believe 2 or 3 years ago it went through Maryhill. Can anyone confirm if I am correct and list some other stations passed through en route to Edinburgh. Thanks
