    Great suggestion, however I think its a tad long at the moment but with the next upgrade to the auto building upgrade it will hopefully be possible. I think the Class 800 would be better saved for an ECML route and layered in as it only runs 1 train each direction a day. I would love to see the Class 222 as an add-on but I've heard that Arriva don't licence their brands anymore so we will probably never see it :( I would defiantly pre-order this route if it was to be made :)

    With regards to the Class 222, we might be best off waiting until Great British Railways kicks off as I believe that licencing will be with them at that point as there is alleged to be a completely new branding to British trains. The 220-222 family of DEMUs is often requested and would be a great addition.

    There all meant to be the same livery/branding so while we might be able to get the Class 222 it probably wouldn't be in the current livery which is a shame unless the livery also gets transferred to Great British Railways.

    Absolutely. The 1st page of the suggestions forum has loads of Scottish stuff so Scotland is certainly here to stay!
    I really hope this turns into reality - this or Fife, Ayrshire, North Clyde, West Highland or Inverclyde.
