Carillion has been working on the £40million electrification of the 50km Cumbernauld – Glasgow Queen Street line since June 2013, having been awarded the contract by Network Rail in January 2013 as part of the first phase of electrification under the £650million Edinburgh-Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP). The project is part of an £80million investment in the Cumbernauld – Glasgow line.
