Loco Choices
The 314 has (obviously enough) Been made already for Cathcart Circle, the 380 however provides a contrast - being a modern unit - and is a common sight on the line.
When the 314 was on the line most services were either Class 314 or 380, with virtually no others.
The Paisley Canal Line however was almost exclusively ran by 314s before the withdrawal of the units.

Thanks for reading.

Absolutely gorgeous I’d buy for sure

You could just remove the 314 and then just add the 380 and/or 385 along with the 314 as bonus stock if GCC doesn't add rolling stock DLC

I'd rather the 314 was on the Inverclyde Frankly.

A way of linking with Cathcart Circle, maybe?

The best way to make money for this route is bundle this with Cathcart Circle as the Glasgow Commuter Pack.
