The Motherwell to Cumbernauld Line is a suburban railway line linking Motherwell and Cumbernauld in Scotland. It is part of the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport network. ==History== The line was built as part of the: *Wishaw and Coltness Railway between and *Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway between and Gartsherrie South Junction *Caledonian Main Line between Gartsherrie Junction and . The line had previously been used by a limited number of through Inter-City passenger trains between Motherwell and Perth up until the end of the 1980s, having earlier served as part of the Caledonian Railway's main trunk route avoiding Glasgow. The surviving trains (the London Euston to ''Clansman'' daytime through service and the ''Royal Highlander'' overnight sleeper) had subsequently been diverted away (via Edinburgh Waverley) by 1990, leaving only the Motherwell to Coatbridge Central section in use by Argyle Line local trains. In May 1996 the SPT introduced a new timetable on the line, replacing the hourly Argyle Line EMUs with a DMU shuttle extended through to Cumbernauld. This allowed the Argyle Line services to be re-routed elsewhere (eventually to via ) whilst offering a new range of journey opportunities for the intermediate stations en-route. A limited number of peak-hour electric services via the Hamilton Circle were retained for commuters and these still operate today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motherwell to Cumbernauld Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
