Wester Hailes

The Caledonian main line out of Edinburgh has been under wires for decades, but only with the ongoing full electrification of the line all the way to Glasgow Central will there be an electric service for locals. For the time being 158s are used for stopping services with 156s for the semi-fasts. 158 739 calls on 11 May with an Edinburgh service. Electrification and a (surely?) more frequent service might boost the modest footfall here.
