Rutherglen to Whifflet is to be electrified by the same method as Paisley Canal.It is planned that services from Whifflet will run into Glasgow Central LL and continue to stations on North Clydeside.

I was recently in the Whifflet/Coatbridge area. Gantry work already very much in evidence towards Cumbernauld. This should ultimately form part of the Glasgow - Edinburgh via Falkirk wiring.
