    This would be a route from glasgow central to kilmarnock with the east Kilbride branch starting just after pollokshaws west,

    Stock used:
    The only trains that would be drivable would be the class 156, (pictured below

    The class 66 could later for freight services

    And the class 314 could also be layered over for A.I services around glasgow central, and for when cathcart overlaps the east Kilbride branch between clarkston and giffnock

    SERVICES:
    there would be a decent amount of services available,
    DRIVABLE:

    Glasgow central to east Kilbride (class 156)

    Glasgow central to barrhead (class 156)

    Glasgow central to Kilmarnock (class 156)

    A.I

    Kilmarnock to stranraer (class 156)

    Kilmarnock to girvan (class 156)

    Glasgow central-newton (class 314)

    Glasgow central to neilston (class 314)

    Glasgow central to Glasgow central (class 314)

    Glasgow central to wemyss bay (class 314)

    Glasgow central to gourock (class 314)

    Glasgow central to ayr/stranraer via ayrshire coast (class 156)

    Glasgow central to shields depot (class 314)

    Glasgow central to paisley canal (class 314)

    Distance:
    The route would be a total distance of around 40 miles (30 to kilmarnock, 10 to east kilbride)

    Overall there would be a decent amount of services, and would include a popular dmu with a large route to mess about with it on.

    I really do believe we need another Scottish Route, and you had my vote when you mentioned the 156

    If DTG merges Cathcart Circle with this route then it can be sold as a bundle called Glasgow Central Network.

    As long as they use ap sounds and physics and don't reuse the class 150 sounds and physics we should be good

    You could also edit the 37 to have electric coupler’s forgot there names and have an rog livery??? So You could have a 314 drag maybe???? Like that

    Very unlikely they'll make a modified 37 just for one run, which would almost certainly be a scenario. Not much point on the Glasgow SW Line anyway, considering the only place worth noting there is Kilmarnock, but 314s would only be dragged to Shields (it's depot when in service) or down to England or something (where they were, along with Glasgow, scrapped)
