Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required - above is from booked timings. Routing was originally uploaded as: Glasgow Central - Muirhouse Central Jn - Mount Florida - Cathcart - Whitecraigs - Nielston High - Uplawmoor - Lugton East Jn - Lugton - Giffen Jn (rev) - ??? - Holytown, then onwards as shown above but was altered following receipt of a scan of a revised timing sheet (revised 'due to the inauguration of the Glasgow South electric services'), although both timing sheets show the exact same routing throughout, so was there an on-the-day dviation to the routing?
(2) Loco propelling.
