    So I've noticed a lot of 380s are used on the Cathcart Circle as I've been on route the few times, so what better way to make it a bit more interesting. upload_2021-9-26_10-59-20.png

    It would be better as part of a new route like the Inverclyde line then layered back onto Cathcart Circle, as the Class 380 only operates there during peak times so would only add a handful of extra services if kept realistic.

    I - despite really wanting the 380, 385, 320, 318, anything ScotRail really, as a Scot - I strongly oppose any DLCs for Cathcart.

    Layer/Sub them back from other future routes, like German routes.

    If the 380 or anything comes as a DLC for Cathcart it's a waste - and would likely end up being a block to future routes, or devalued by being In a future route.

    ^ This.

    It would be nice if DTG put in a class 314 that looked like this

    Correct me if I am wrong
    Wasn't there some 314s in this livery During the time set for this route
    It could be like the trainbow 395 but with mabey 2-4 units dressed in this livery

    Not 2-4 units. The majority of units retained the Carmine & Cream Livery.

    I mean DTG could make 2-4 314s in that livery as I doubt they will want to change most of the fleet

    Maybe it was a condition of getting the Scotrail licence that the trains had to be in Saltire livery only.

    ScotRail's Licence is only a case of asking permission (provided it is for commercial purpose). They do have (somewhat strict) branding guidelines however as it is Public-owned (Transport Scotland, themselves under the Scottish Govt. Own it) it is a case of asking for permission.

    So I doubt they would have stopped them in all honesty.

    The Carmine and Cream Livery is owned by SPT so it is a different licence to the ScotRail one, since SPT isn't in the game I guess that DTG don't have the licence :)
