    Not rlly. 380's are the majority of traffic out of central. The rest is just 156's which I believe 158's are subbing in for and a mix of 318's and 320's which has 380's cover most of their services.
    390's are almost always taking up platform 1/2 but concidering it's only 1 platform it's ain't a massive loss. Just means it'll be a nice layer if/when we do get a 390.

    Considering the 156s are being represented by 158s, and the 390 hardly makes up any significant share of the traffic - no.

    Unless I've missed something or haven't looked properly, where does it mention Crossmyloof and Dumbreck being modelled?

    It's one of the bullet points of the 'Cathcart Circle Remaster' list in the latest roadmap. There's no pics of either station though.

    DTG Liam Do you know if CCL will be getting a sale like WSR did (£2.99 on PS) after the remaster releases please? Trying to work out whether to buy it in the sales now, or after the remaster is released.

    Watched the roadmap of this and the pictures just blew me away Glasgow central is looking stunning. It’s great to see the 2 extra stations added. I wonder if this is a little hint at a future proposal of the Barrhead line or Kilmarnock lines getting added when we have a class 156 in sim another workhorse of scotrail and regular train in Glasgow central.
    This is a day one purchase for me really enjoy the GCC having lived in neilston I used it daily years ago have fond memories of getting in a freezing cold class 314 to head into Glasgow for work.

    Since Dumbreck is being added it would be cool if we got an extension to Paisley Canal one day.

    I don’t know if this has already been answered or is just a of course type of question. Is the remastered route getting the new scoring system? And 2 if you have scored enough points on a previous running of a service for platinum under the new scoring will the medal be auto upgraded.

    It'll be a new timetable, so, yes to the first.
    As for the old timetable - if it remains - it won't be platinum I wouldn't think.

    Are crossmyloof and dumbreck accessible (either as spawn or drivable service)? or is it just scenery for the AI?

    Purely scenery for AI as they are outside the player boundaries.

    Will you be able to drive to them and walk on the platforms in free roam?

    Hello. I read your question so thought I'd give these a go on the current route release to see what's there. Using Free roam I spawned at Shields Road, walked uptown the invisible boundary, put a diesel train on the line and drove through. After heading for the area of Dumbreck. After that I took the Clydesdale line, Terminus Curve and Up Barhead line just passed Shawlands.

    Please forgive the speeding and the SPAD, that's what no route knowledge will do!

    Nope, they are outside player boundaries.
    The boundaries have also been fixed that let players drive/ride trains fully outside the route.

    When you say a.i, does that mean you could ride the train and see the scenary at those stations or is it the most basic possible?

    EDIT: Nevermind. Just seen your recent post

    Just thought I'd share a little illustration to help drivers navigate the Circle. DTG: feel free to include this in the manual if it could be useful. image.jpeg

    That's a great piece of work TrainsAndWellbeing - saves me the time for my usual practice of making my own Ebula style document to drive HUDless!

    I'm glad that'll be useful for you. I'll attach the full thing as a PDF on this post as I have guidance for Neilston and Newton services also, although in list format rather than map.
    What I like about Cathcart Circle is you can drive the Circle line of sight providing you know what the next speed limit change will be, and from that experience we can learn to make the stops more efficiently. When heading off the circle things speedup so braking points are needed on the approach to stations.

    I'm happy to make the ScotRail guides and if Rivet fix the signalling red walls over the track, and suicide cult customers on Fife Circle I'm ready to cover that too. I think we need a route learning forum so we can all post and try out each others core routes. I personally don't think that I can learn much relying on the HUD so if I'm going to drive a route I'd always try to learn it.

    I'll make some Cathcart Circle videos once the update and extra traffic are ready, providing stuff doesn't get broken, which I'm sure it won't as this is a DTG route.

    That is amazing mate.

    Cathcart's a fairly simple route to learn but that's made it a lot easier. Sticking this one in the bookmarks!

    Very good!

    Nice to have a loco that can appear on all Scottish routes, too.

    [I know the 385 can do this but it's pretty mid, no?]

    Also something else, 801s only really go past Edinburgh on services to either stirling or glasgow central (only 1 or 2 of these a day, both in the evening) I'm probably looking too far into this, but could it be an 800?

    The 385 is the worst loco on the game imo. Absolutely horrendous to drive. The sounds are looped so when you’re at speed it sounds completely broken.

    Interestingly I agree when playing TSW, it's really hard to control the CPBC with the keyboard accurately as it's too sensitive, and the emergency brake applications on the neutral sections added with the DAS screen not working right in favour of the clickable announcements make it unnecessarily unpleasant. I far prefer the Thompson Interactive Class 385 in Train Simulator Classic in that it actually works! and because the cab layout seems to have been altered a bit so that all the information you need fits on the screen.

    I'm looking forward to the Class 158 because I'll be able to drive that without any HUD elements as I can see the position of the controls on the desk, and for the Class 380 there should be an indicator on the TMS showing the combined power handle setting. Two great trains hopefully coming soon.

    More chance of Klingons landing outside your house, than Rivet Games ever remastering their DLC routes.

    They can't even be bothered to fix regular bugs.
