>>1937311If the Carstairs branch is part of the WCML because of services terminating in Edinburgh, then it is also part of the ECML due to services terminating in Glasgow.
The ECML could've had 140mph running in the 90s but it's been 30 years and they've yet to remove the level crossings and implement in-cab signalling.
The end-to-end journey for the WCML is quicker, the trains require more innovative technology, and the scenery is better.
There is no comparison, the WCML absolutely mogs the ECML.
