So, in the end, which line will this one be part of? Or will it be Edinburgh to Glasgow via Bathgate (and swallow up the other two lines) Simply south 18:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I have created the stations of Caldercruix and Armadale. I have put the railbox under the provisional name of the rail link as i am not sure what the new name will be. I have done the same at Drumgelloch and Bathgate. Simply south 20:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
The paragraph that attempts to infer rolling stock upgrades from a 5 mi/h difference between the projected line speed and the maximum speed of the current stock seems to be rather speculative. I am not specifically familiar with British practices, but I'd find it more probable that Network Rail prefers (for consistency and ease of planning) to use a discrete range of line speed ratings for all new constructions, and that 80 mi/h is simply the lowest common design speed that allows for the envisaged use of the line. Unless it can be argued that building the new line with a 75 mi/h rating would have been an actually considered option, the paragraph does not sound convincing. 鈥 Henning Makholm 09:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
At the moment the article begins "The Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link is a proposed railway development in Central Scotland." Given that sods have been cut, contracts awarded and the like, isn't it a bit further on than just "proposed"? Unfortunately I cannot, right now, think of the perfect replacement - but maybe you can??聽:) 138.37.199.206 ( talk) 08:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I have read numerous sorces saying that Drumgelloch is going to moved to Katherine Park, but i cannot find any indication it is to be renamed this. Simply south ( talk) 23:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
The central section is now effectively open and should be in the same colour as the two ends, but I can't find how to access the image for editing. Can someone please fix it, or explain how it should be done? Tiger99 ( talk) 15:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
