converting all the "railway lines in great
Britain" templates to a "v-d-e" type template, for some reason, presumable to do with this beginning bit, the Scotland one works differently and doesn't behave like the others. For commonality, especially on pages where there are several templates being called upon, i think it looks good if they are all collapse-able - for an example see the bottom of a page like

Please, do not simply revert my hard work here. The previous code was very untidy and hard to read/understand due to a heap of "nbsp"s and such like - looks like it had been coded up in an HTML editor. My edit (or rather rewrite) cleaned this up and seperated lines with commas, removed the redundant
788:
So are most of the others. For example, the line used for the
Edinburgh to Dunblans service is also used by the Edinburgh to Inverness via Stirling Trains. The Argyle and North Clyde services use common tracks between Partick and Dalmuir; the Argyle Line, WCML, Cal Sleeper, ECML, and Shotts service
727:
A noticable ommission from the
Express routes. It was established as a "ScotRail Express" route long ago, using firstly the additional batch of push pull stock, and now an hourly service with 170's. It would cover the inappropriate Tay Coast line, which is just two uncovered routes lumped together
691:
I'm no coder, but the old one was written as straight table in HTML, unlike most other navigation templates I've come across. Its something to do with the first few lines of code, and what other templates/function one is citing/activating by including them. I finally got around to, earlier today,
565:
I think the different lines are too close together now making it look crowded and difficult to read. The different colour boxes were not "random sizes" - they were all the same. Your template is a lot less readable and not aesthetically pleasing, which was why I reverted it.
247:
poor from the point of view of visibility. The text for "North Clyde Line", for example, is barely legible, and so is that for "Ayrshire Coast Line". Several of the others aren't much better. IMO the colour-coding makes it harder to read, not easier, so defeats the object.
272:
I had already dealt with the problem of visibility by removing the coloured backgrounds and replacing them with the coloured squares. Therefore I reverted the template to keep it consistent with the others (e.g.
332:
To be honest I don't see a standard format as a reason to stick with one - the previous template has randomly sized colour boxes that look pretty naff to be honest. How about this (I've not put in the right
311:. It is using the standard format as used by all the other templates for the rest of the UK. The colour coding of the Glasgow suburban lines is to match the colour of the line used on

The old one looked far nicer than the new one, in my opinion. What exactly is the difference aside from the look? The old one could 'collapse' in the sense that it could be hidden. --
609:
Is it necessary to have the (rather long) list of historical railway companies on this template? It makes the template a lot bigger. Also, it seems confusing to have railway

share tracks between
Rutherglen and Uddingston. North Berwick services share the same tracks between Glasgow and Drem with the NXEC and Cross Country services.

I would agree and it would recognise that this template covers the railway services that operate in
Scotland (including the several which cross the border). --

advises against using colours, except in special cases. What's the special case here, what does it add? And if it adds anything, why just
Glasgow when
382:
798:
In summary all these are services, some of which share tracks with other services, with only a few services have sole usage of a particular line.
