COMMUTERS on Scotland’s flagship rail line will have to wait two years longer than expected for more seats, The Scotsman has learned. The latest blow to passengers on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow route comes days after it emerged that promised cuts in journey times would also not happen until 2018. Opposition parties united to condemn the further setback to the Edinburgh-Glasgow Improvement Programme (Egip), which was slimmed down by one-third to £650 million last July to save money.

A look across the platforms at Queen Street on 14 August. As can be seen this is very much Class 170 territory (as opposed to Glasgow Central where they're unknown). Usually however one or both of the other two DMU classes in Scotland is around somewhere, with 156s forming all WHL services, and 158s the usual fare on the Maryhill line.
