Royal Scotsman.

[Scotrail344Lad]

Hello. Does anyone know the following about the (Belmond) Royal scotsman?

- On its way to the West highland line does it go through Bathgate & Airdrie or does it go down the Edinburgh and Glasgow main and then the cowlairs curve?

- Does anyone have a good route map of it? I can make my own but want to see if anyone else has one instead...

Cheers,

Worth pointing out that although it has various plans in the WTT it can and does have short-term diversions either because there's particular excursions being offered, or to work around engineering and other traffic requirements.

I suspect there's not one single map showing all itineraries together. Possibly in the brochure.
