The Transport Minister visited the first new feeder station to be commissioned as part of multi-million plans to electrify the East Kilbride rail line.
The Ferguslie feeder station, which will connect to the network in October, supports the existing infrastructure as well as providing the additional electric power needed to support future decarbonisation of Scotland’s railway by 2035.
Investment will see six new feeder stations at strategic locations across the network and a further nine sites upgraded to increase the resilience and reliability of the infrastructure for the operation of electrically powered passenger and freight traffic.
