ScotRail services on the East Kilbride line will resume this weekend, following the successful completion of a major programme of modernisation works.
From Sunday, 18 May, services between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride will return to normal. Customers are encouraged to check their journey in advance to familiarise themselves with the new timetable.
The project, delivered by Network Rail Scotland, brings significant upgrades to the track, signalling, bridges, and overhead line equipment along the route, and is part of a Scottish Government investment in the line to decarbonise rail services as well as improve reliability for passengers.
Electric trains will be introduced on the route later this year, once full electrification of the line is complete.
Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming customers back to the East Kilbride line this weekend.
“The modernisation works completed by Network Rail Scotland are a crucial part of building a better, more reliable railway for the future, and we thank our customers and the local communities for their patience while the improvements were delivered.”
