East Kilbride

156462 just arrived at the terminus at East Kilbride from Glasgow Central, on the evening of 2nd October 2018. This is the only non-electrified line on the Glasgow suburban network. However, an item in issue 926 (March 2021) of RAIL magazine states that work to electrify the line is due to begin 'imminently', including the upgrading of East Kilbride station and relocation of Hairmyres station 600 metres (whatever that is in good old-fashioned yards) to the west.
