Sorry, don't know about your questions but..............
On a similar vein, there are no trains from Motherwell to Edinburgh for the Hearts game - replaced by buses as follows (courtesy of my bluenose mate)
Buses leave Motherwell at
09:25
10:25
13:15
Buses leave Edinburgh at
18:15
18:26 – a semi fast Scotrail train that takes about 1 hour and calls at Wishy for those interested
20:00
21:15
22:30
Buses are timetables at 1h journey
There are various alternatives via Glasgow and Shotts line (remember some Shotts trains run semi-fast to Bellshill). But one viable alternative is:- M/well 09:47 – Edinburgh 11:13
