Hi all. A milestone, the milestone we have all been waiting for has taken place over the past two days - The first train has now travelled on the full Airdrie - Bathgate route (12 miles). The test train, consisting of two Class 37 locomotives (611 & 607) made history while working the Network Rail Radio Survey working. My photographs from today can be found below.

Plains - A good vantage point is here at Plains, west of Caldercruix (4 pics):
