Haymarket-Kings Cross would be my first guess,

Glasgow Central-Edinburgh-Kings Cross no doubt sees occasional use of
a 125 unit.

Do they still run them through from Kings Cross to Aberdeen?

Yes and also Kings Cross to Inverness but no wires (yet) once you're
past the junction west of Haymarket Station where the Glasgow Centrals
diverge.

Ah. I don't know Edinburgh and hadn't realised the divergence was at
Haymarket - that was an Engine Shed to me from my train spotting days.
