    The Glasgow Airport Rail Link (GARL) is a proposed link between Glasgow City Centre and Glasgow Airport. The original plans for an airport rail link were proposed during the 2000s to directly link Glasgow Central station with Glasgow Airport in Scotland. The link was intended for completion by 2013 and would have had a service of four trains per hour via Paisley Gilmour Street railway station.
    Main Trains: British Railway Class 380

    Layer: British Railway Class 385

    And British Rail Class 323

    This is my suggestion.

    1. No
    2. The GARL (via Paisley) has been abandoned for over a decade now.
    3. See 1.
    4. What on earth do London Overground & West Midlands Railway trains have to do with a ScotRail Route?
    5. We all remember that horrific rendition on TSC.
    6. See 3.
    7. See 6.

    Okay. What on earth.
    Firstly, you have copied and pasted a small bit of route information from Wikipedia.
    Second, it's in TSC and not that great a route. We'd be far better with ayshire and Inverclyde lines.
    And finally, London overground or wmr stock has NEVER came up to Scotland. And it does not and would not run on that line if it was built today. 385 I could maybe see that ScotRail might run it on there but you could say that about any scotrail train really because the route was never built. The 385 would need a complete overhaul as it's current state is unacceptable to be reused again and the class 380 would be cool as long as dtg and AP make it. It probably wouldn't be too difficult as it uses basically the same sounds as the 350 apart from a couple miscellaneous sounds. But for it to really stretch is legs a different line would be better as said like ayshire coast and Inverclyde. The GARL is already in TSC and it's not that good a route so I don't see why this would or should be made for TSW.

    I 100% agree with this wonderful suggestion by this perfect example of an SCR player. Adding onto this suggestion I would love if we could have the DB BR 401 and 403 for fast services xx

    They are German trains. This suggestion is for a British route.

    they are taking the mick as the original suggestion also suggests trains what aren’t realistic (as far as I’m aware) not too mention the route doesn’t even exist (as far as I’m aware)
