Probably not the West Coast Main Line!

[edit]

The West Coast Main Line runs from London to Glasgow via Carstairs Junction. Auchengray does not lie on that route. It is on a branch from Carstairs Junction to Edinburgh. It was formerly part of the Caledonian Railway. Typically some Est Coast Main Line trains from London Kings Cross continue along it from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Central, while some West Coast trains from London Euston, and Cross-Country trains from places such as Plymouth traverse it in the opposite direction to reach Edinburgh Waverley. So it doesn't logically belong as part of either the West or East Coast mainlines.

Even Railscot does not seem to name this line in the modern era. In the interests of accuracy it could do with attention from someone who knows how it should be categorised. Tiger99 (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
