The argyle line stretches from Motherwell, Larkhall, Cumbernauld and Lanark to Dalmuir, Milngavie and Glasgow Central. And when there is engineering works or improvement works, like is going on right now, services from Motherwell and Larkhall will use the Cathcart Circle and terminating at Glasgow Central High Level instead of going to Cambuslang and through the Low Level. So that could be some scenarios for this and the Cathcart circle if it were to be implemented. Services to and from Larkhall, Motherwell or Cumbernauld can use class 318’s class 320’s And the occasional class 334 Services to and from Lanark can use all of the above (except class 334) and additionally using either the class 380 or the class 385 Lanark services could be seen on the Cathcart circle if you have the dlc and vice versa. The class 325 could also be included too, there is a postal depot or siding near Shieldmuir I think. If the West/East Coast Main Line is added the class 390 and 221 or the 221, 220 and HST could also operate between Glasgow Central and Carluke, but then would go off in the other direction to Carstairs. This could also add two new timetable modes on Cathcart Circle, modern day, and improvement works in the Low Level. They will obviously not be there real names but Modern day will operate the trains that operate there (320, 318, 380 and the occasional 385) whilst the Glasgow Central Low Level works timetable operates the current timetable, using 320’s and 318’s from the high level going to Larkhall and Motherwell. Also DTG charter trains could operate Glasgow Central - Coatbridge Central, Coatbridge Central - Partick (Hyndland Siding)
Great suggestion! I would love to see more Scotrail in TSW2! Lot of lovely and exciting rolling stock for this route, also could be seen on the Cathcart Circle!
The 385 never runs on Argyle Services, and the 380 is very, very, very rare. And the 334 is very rarely assigned to Argyle operations, it typically is only on the NCL, which overlaps with the Argyle west between Partick and Dalmuir. Although, the 318 + 320 with 314 layers at Glasgow and Newton, and 320/318 on Cathcart, would be a good move, and I'm all for it, even though I'd personally prefer the NCL between Helensburgh and Airdrie with it's branches.
