===Glasgow=== {{see also|Transport in Glasgow}} The densest part of the network was the [[Commuter rail in the United Kingdom|suburban network]] around [[Glasgow]], with 183 stations, the second-largest suburban rail network in the UK, after London. Much of it is [[Railway electrification in Great Britain|{{nowrap|25 kV AC}} electrified]]. Glasgow’s main [[terminal station]]s are [[Glasgow Central railway station|Central]] and [[Glasgow Queen Street railway station|Queen Street station]]s. ScotRail operated trains in this area under the [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]] (SPT) brand. However, the [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]] no longer has any input into specifying rail services in the Glasgow area. DMUs and EMUs that were liveried in the carmine and cream livery were stripped of the Strathclyde logos.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = |magazine = [[Today's Railways UK]] |issue = 81 |date = |page = }}</ref>{{Full citation needed|date=May 2023}} Lines in and around Glasgow were: {{col-float}} *[[Argyle Line]] *[[Ayrshire Coast Line]] *[[Cathcart Circle Lines]] *[[Croy Line]] *[[Cumbernauld Line]] *[[Inverclyde Line]] *[[Maryhill Line]] {{col-float-break}} *[[Motherwell–Cumbernauld line]] *[[North Clyde Line]] (extended to Cumbernauld & Edinburgh<ref name="airdriebathgate">{{cite web |url = http://www.airdriebathgateraillink.co.uk/plan/ |title = Airdrie-Bathgate rail link |publisher = airdriebathgateraillink.co.uk |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110928141710/http://www.airdriebathgateraillink.co.uk/plan/ |archive-date = 28 September 2011 }}</ref>) *[[Paisley Canal line]] *[[Shotts Line]] *[[Glasgow South Western Line]] *[[Whifflet Line]] (incorporated into the [[Argyle Line]]) {{col-float-end}} The North Clyde Line is now linked to the Edinburgh-Bathgate Line (see Edinburgh, below) with the completion of the [[Airdrie–Bathgate rail link]], creating a new direct link between Glasgow and Edinburgh. There is also a proposal to create a new rail link across the city with the [[Crossrail Glasgow]] project.
