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

That's correct. A number of different route permutations: via Maryhill then via either Croy and Falkirk G, or via Cumbernauld and Falkirk G or Falkirk H.

Interestingly the sleeper is shown as stopping at Queen Street from 22nd September - 12th December.

The usual route used to be Westerton - Maryhill, passing through intermediate stations on the Anniesland-Queen St service, then Ashfield-Bishopbriggs, and passing all intermediate stations on the main line to Edinburgh via Falkirk High.

In the other direction, it typically went via Cumbernauld.

Thanks for all your replies. I knew something had changed as I waited on the wrong platform at Westerton, mad dash across the bridge as train approached.
