RAIL bosses want to make the busy Glasgow to Edinburgh train line one of the best in the world.
RAIL bosses want to make the busy Glasgow to Edinburgh train line one of the best in the world.
Network Rail hope the route will have "world-class" punctuality and reliability, similar to lines anywhere in the globe.
More than seven out of 10 trains currently arrive on time and more than nine in 10 are within five minutes of schedule.
But targets will be set to further improve timekeeping, which bosses say is already at its best for decade.
Measures being considered include raising the speed limits on sections of the line which would help reduce the current 48-minute journey time and boost the economy by £60million for every minute saved.
And an extra £5million has been added to the £20m annual spend on the line.
Non-stop trains would be introduced and the speed limit raised from 90mph to 100mph as part of the proposals.
