    The West Coast Main Line is one of the most important railway corridors in the United Kingdom, connecting major cities like London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester. It runs 399 miles from London to Glasgow and carries a mixture of intercity, regional, commuter rail and freight traffic, making it one of the busiest mixed-traffic routes in Europe. Several sections of the line also connect to suburban railway systems in large cities and more rural towns.

    The 

    West Coast Main Line (WCML) is one of the most important railway corridors in the United
    Kingdom, connecting the major cities of London and Glasgow along
    with Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh. It is one of the busiest mixed-traffic railway
    routes in Europe, carrying a mixture of intercity rail, regional rail, commuter rail and rail freight traffic.
    The core route of the WCML runs from London to Glasgow for 399 mi (642 km) and was opened
    from 1837 to 1869. With additional lines deviating to Northampton, Birmingham, Manchester,
    Liverpool and Edinburgh, this totals a route mileage of 700 miles (1,127 km).[3][4] The Glasgow–
    Edinburgh via Carstairs line connects the WCML to Edinburgh, however the main London–
    Edinburgh route is the East Coast Main Line. Several sections of the WCML form part of
    the suburban railway systems in London, Coventry, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and
    Glasgow, with many more smaller commuter stations, as well as providing links to more rural towns.
