Buses will replace trains on Glasgow south-side over the Easter weekend as Network Rail completes a major signalling upgrade. Network Rail engineers will complete a £35m, two-year-long project to upgrade signalling systems on the south-side of Glasgow over the Easter weekend.
Part of an ongoing programme of enhancement and renewal across the network, the scheme has replaced aging signalling equipment on the East Kilbride, Barrhead, Netwton, Neilston and Cathcart Circle lines and enhanced track and capacity at key locations.

On 5 February 2011 unit 314 205 pulls out of the reversing stub at Neilston heading for the departure platform to form the next service to Glasgow Central. The following half-hourly terminating service will occupy the stub in a few minutes time, so it's occupied for most of the day. Note the increasingly old-fashioned destination blind still carried by all 314s.
