    Further to this thread Limited Options For Edinburgh Glasgow I have decided to have a quick bash at adding some extra paths to this route as a test run for my much larger mods for GOBLIN and Peak Forest later on. However it would be helpful if someone could give me a few pointers as to where paths should start and finish from Waverley and Queen Street.

    I'm not looking for every single service under the sun but just some general comments as to what service runs from either an individual platform (or group of platforms) and where the end destination would be. Also a comment of what item of TSW4 would be the closest fit would also be handy.

    This mod would be for Scenario Creation (not Timetable) and can have Community liveries in play so anything that can be (or has been) reskinned will be appropriate. Also what might I see at Cadder and Greenhill sidings? Haymarket PL0?

    Can answers be something like this.
    Start point: Queen St - PL1 / 2 - Destination: Perth - Stock: CL158 (4car).


    As I said earlier, not looking for chapter and verse on everything but just some extra info that will enable me to use all the platforms at Queen Street and roughly half at Waverley. Thanks.

    Note - I don't have Fife Circle so I have no CL170 but that doesn't mean I can't set up paths for those services (via Haymarket PL1 & 2).

    Thanks.

    Haymarket P0 is generally used for train starting/finishing their day at Haymarket.

    I.e. Haymarket Depot -> Haymarket P0 -> Dundee (or whatever), and vice versa

    I have not got a clue about the others though, I'm afraid.

    Well thanks for trying to give me an answer.:)

    TBH I was expecting to get quite a few replies from Scots interested in seeing the route options expanded. Quite surprised to get no reaction at all.:|

    But, no worries, I'll just have a rummage on Traksy and work things out from there.

    I have some idea but don't use the trains enough to be definitive. You can maybe look here
    https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/live-trains/departures/edinburgh/ and check platforms on there?

    And I thanked you for it. (The smilie was for you :) ).
    By the way are you X-Box only or do you 'play' on PC?

    Xbox only for TSW, sadly. (It's a hard life ;))

    Making a little bit of progress now, after getting stuck for 3 days with the mod not appearing to work.
    Now have 67 paths and 89 markers in play for Scenario Creation on the route.
    Lots of testing still to do but you can see a slightly busier Queen Street in the screenshots below.

    Testing with a brief scenario. Starting at Glasgow QS (Plats 1-3) will see how I get on.
    (Will post any future scenario screenshots in the Creators Club forum for those that are interested).
