    Just wondering- is there any point to buying this if one doesn't have Fife Circle?

    If you enjoy Edinburgh - Glasgow then you could get it for that.

    I can’t remember if it runs on Cathcart Circle or not.

    Think it has a couple of depot runs on Cathcart. The majority of the content is for Edinburgh to Glasgow though until it gets integrated to Fife Circle.

    It does run on Cathcart, but no actual "services" as such. More just from depot to station.

    Fife Circle now worth buying - although still not without its faults - after today's long overdue (but welcome) update.

    Fife is on sale if you're a steam user.

    It adds services to Edinburgh - Glasgow and also adds lots of AI to Cathcart

    Not really, imo. It’s a nice to have as a layer on CCL. But I find E-G extremely boring and much prefer FCL, warts and all.

    If you play Edinburgh to Glasgow, the timetable that comes with the class 158 is much, much, much better than the original timetable, so if you play that route i'd highly recommend the class 158.

    i genuinely don't think Skyhook got enough credit for the improvements they made to the E-G timetable when the class 158 got introduced

    Layers and 1 depot move or two but nothing substantial. Though adds A LOT of a.i traffic to Glasgow central which imo Is worth it

    When the new Leven livery for the 158 releases, will it come with a new timetable for FCL or will it just substitute on some 170 services?
    (Posting on here since I can't seem to find any threads for the 158 annoyingly)
