    Hi there, the route you are suggesting, Edinburgh to Glasgow Central isn’t 100% correct
    1. You haven’t listed Edinburgh Waverley on the stations list.
    2. You are forgetting some trains. You said the class 156, the class 158 operated in that era, 385 operates now. So if this route were to come to the game it would have either the 156 and 158 or just the class 385

    Would be a nice alternative to the fast route via Falkirk, scope for layers too - Class 101, maybe at a pinch the 37, 40 and 47 too.

    It's electrified now isn't it? Either way, another Strathclyde route would be very welcome to provide AI on Cathcart Circle (and vice-versa).

    Only just (2019 according to Wikipedia). If the line were to be made, I would hope it could be set pre electrification, as a properly constructed 156 (i.e. not done by Rivet) would be a useful asset in the game for many other routes.

    If it was a modern era with the class 385, it could also include a LNER azuma

    Why not set this in 2019 with Class 385 380 and 156 158. DLC Class 318 320
    That way you have three chapters
    Desiro Driver Class 380
    A train Driver Class 385
    Sprinter Driver 156 158
    Chapter 4 DLC
    Mk 3 family MU driver
    Class 318 & 320.
    Of these 380 318 & 320 can substitute on Cathcart Circle.

    1) perhaps they were listing the stops from Waverley, or maybe they didn't feel the need to include a station that was in the title.
    2) Their choice...

    Not much value on the Shotts Line bar AI at Edinburgh and Glasgow (1tpd at the latter)

    The Class 318 & 320 do not run on the Shotts Line.
