Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley onboard Abellio ScotRail 385116 (14th July 2021)

This is one I’ve wanted to do for a while, a full onboard ride on ScotRail’s most premier express service, so today I take a pair of Class 385s on 1R92 which is the 1645 ScotRail Express service from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley. So sit back and relax and enjoy the mostly 100mph running of the full Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk High route. If you don’t want to watch a 49 minute video I’ve left some timestamps of interesting bits: 3:50 Departing Glasgow Queen Street and ascending the Cowlairs Incline/Tunnel 6:24 Cowlairs South Junction (Cumbernauld Line) 6:39 Passing 170407 in BTP livery 6:57 Cowlairs North Junction (Maryhill Line) 7:02 Passing Eastfield Depot (various ScotRail units) 8:09 Passing Bishopbriggs 9:05 Passing Cadder HST Yard and Loops 10:09 Passing Lenzie 10:31 Passing Waterside Viaduct 12:51 Passing Gartshore Loops 14:35 Arriving at Croy 15:18 Departing Croy 18:46 Passing Castlecary Viaduct (M80 Motorway) 19:01 Passing over the Cumbernauld Line 19:43 Greenhill Upper Junction (Croy Line) 23:01 Arriving at Falkirk High 23:45 Departing Falkirk High and entering Falkirk Tunnel 26:08 Polmont Junction (Dunblane Line) 26:52 Arriving at Polmont 27:37 Departing Polmont 29:36 Manuel Junction (Bo Ness & Kinneil Railway BN&KR) 30:18 Passing Avon Viaduct (Linlithgow) 31:52 Arriving at Linlithgow 32:24 Departing Linlithgow 36:14 Winchburgh Junction (Dalmeny Chord) 36:45 Winchburgh Tunnel 38:04 Passing Almomd Valley Viaduct 38:49 Newbridge Junction (North Clyde Line) 41:16 Passing Edinburgh Park 41:46 Passing Bankhead Tram Stop 42:30 Passing Saughton Tram Stop 42:50 Saughton Junction (Fife Circle/Edinburgh to Aberdeen line) 43:28 Haymarket West Junction (Edinburgh Suburban) 43:58 Haymarket Central Junction (Edinburgh Suburban) 44:26 Haymarket East Junction (Shotts/Glasgow to Edinburgh via Carstairs line) and Arriving at Haymarket 45:15 Departing Haymarket and entering Haymarket Tunnel 46:41 Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle 47:29 Mound Tunnel 47:54 Arriving into Edinburgh Waverley Enjoy!
