Albeit not scheduled but I have done PIK-GLA on BA which was quite amusing.
You weren’t on the same flight as me a few weeks back? Did my shortest ever sector last night (10 minutes PIK-GLA)

I realise this may be something of a moot point now, but...

The other route, if you don't want to go via Haymarket, is to take the tram to Edinburgh Park, then change to the slow train from there to Glasgow. You can get off at Partick and hop into a Joe Baxi - it's barely more than the bus fare from Queen St. You don't get the swanky new trains, but you do get a scenic view of Coatbridge.

These trains have a destination of Helensburgh or Milngavie, the latter of which you can have great fun trying to pronounce.
Oxon Flyer and Scots_Al like this.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but just had to comment. As Coatbridge is where I was born and bred, I’ve never seen it described as scenic

Well done that man
