Central Scotland

I photographed the previous version of this map see image 31499 and wondered how ScotRail would cope with A-B reopening.  Here's your answer: they cheated a bit (or performed a workaround, as it's called these days).  A 'dip' has been created at Bathgate which allows all the station names to be fitted in without having to move the Motherwell to Cumbernauld line nearer to Glasgow with all the squashing and redrawing of other lines that would entail.  You can amuse yourselves by looking for other changes.
