The Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme or EGIP is an initiative started by the Scottish Government to upgrade the main railway lines between Edinburgh and Glasgow by 2016. It is expected to cost around £650 million. == Original plans == As originally announced in 2006, the project would have cost £1 billion and would have involved upgrading of railways within much of the Scottish Central Belt between Edinburgh and Glasgow.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rail Electrification Programme - Control Period 5 (2014-19) )〕 Some of the general and more specific aims of the original programme included: * Service frequencies between Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street increased from four trains per hour to six per hour, with the fastest journey time being reduced to 35 minutes. This would have resulted in a total of 13 trains per hour between the two cities across all routes; * Electrification of the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line, the Croy Line, the Edinburgh to Dunblane Line, the Grangemouth branch, the Alloa branch and the Cumbernauld Line; * Construction of turnback sidings at Abbeyhill Junction and ; * Construction (and electrification) of the Garngad Chord, near , thus allowing Glasgow-Cumbernauld services to use the North Clyde Line into Queen Street Low Level, thus freeing up capacity on the High Level station. * Remodelling of Greenhill Junction to provide a non-conflicting junction; * Upgrading of overbridges along the routes involved in order to provide sufficient clearance for electrification wires; * Provision of traction stabling facilities at Stirling; and * Construction of a rail-tram interchange at , and a new chord line at Dalmeny to allow trains from the west to serve the new station. 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「Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
