This is the tricky bit: the new service will take 67 minutes, a full 19 minutes slower than the 48 minutes which is taken by the alternative and existing service between Edinburgh and Glasgow. If you don't believe me, check out The Scotsman here.
Perhaps it is an example of post-modernist irony, but I would have thought that there must be an oxymoron somewhere in this quotation:
The express services would stop at Uddingston, Shotts, West Calder, Livingston South and Haymarket...

The existing service on the line takes closer to 2 hours, because it calls at every single little station in Lanarkshire. 67 minutes isn't terribly useful as competition for those doing Edinburgh to Glasgow, but for those in the larger towns in between, it's a huge speed-up.
