It is managed by ScotRail, who provide almost all of the services (along with LNER and the Caledonian Sleeper). It is sited 151 miles 25 chains (243.5 km) from Carlisle, measured via Stirling, Cumbernauld and Motherwell, and approximately 47 miles 68 chains (77.0 km) from Ladybank (thus approximately 86 miles 77 chains (140.0 km) from Edinburgh Waverley via Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing). Dunkeld & Birnam: Dunkeld & Birnam railway station serves the town of Dunkeld and village of Birnam in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is located on the Highland Main Line, 15 miles 31 chains (24.8 km) north of Perth and is the first stop on the line north of there, before Pitlochry. Most services are operated by ScotRail, who also manage the station. LNER and Caledonian Sleeper also call some services here. Pitlochry: Pitlochry railway station is a railway station serving the town of Pitlochry in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is managed by ScotRail and is located on the Highland main line, 28 miles 21 chains (45.5 km) from Perth, between Dunkeld & Birnham and Blair Atholl. Blair Atholl: Blair Atholl railway station is a railway station serving the town of Blair Atholl, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line, 35 miles 9 chains (56.5 km) from Perth, between Pitlochry and Dalwhinnie.

Page 3: Newtonmore: Newtonmore railway station serves the village of Newtonmore, Highland, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line. The station is 68 miles 62 chains (110.7 km) from Perth, between Dalwhinnie and Kingussie, and has a single platform which is long enough for a ten-coach train.[4] It is currently the only station on the Highland Main Line to have one platform, although the former second platform can still be seen adjacent to the first platform. Kingussie: Kingussie railway station serves the town of Kingussie, Inverness-shire in the Highland Council Area of Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line, 71 miles 43 chains (115.1 km) from Perth, between Newtonmore and Aviemore. Aviemore: Aviemore railway station serves the town and tourist resort of Aviemore in the Highlands of Scotland. The station, which is owned by Network Rail (NR) and managed by ScotRail, is on the Highland Main Line, 83 miles 31 chains (134.2 kilometres) from Perth, between Kingussie and Carrbridge, and is also the southern terminus of the Strathspey preserved railway. Carrbridge: Carrbridge railway station serves the village of Carrbridge, Highland, Scotland. The railway station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line, 90 miles (140 kilometres) from Perth, between Aviemore and Inverness. Inverness: Inverness railway station is the railway station serving the Scottish city of Inverness. It is the terminus of the Highland Main Line, the Aberdeen–Inverness line (of which the Inverness and Nairn Railway is now a part), the Kyle of Lochalsh line and the Far North Line. The Aberdeen and Perth lines diverge at Millburn Junction a short distance beyond Welsh's Bridge. Platforms 1–4 are 118 miles 3 chains (190.0 km) from Perth (measured via Carrbridge); Millburn Junction, 117 miles 37 chains (189.0 km) from Perth, is also 143 miles 39 chains (230.9 km) from Perth (measured via Dava). The station is the zero point for the Far North Line, and platforms 5–7 are 2 chains (40 m) along this line; Rose Street Junction, 18 chains (360 m) along the Far North Line, is 118 miles 1 chain (189.9 km) from Perth. I hope you enjoyed this one, put your thoughts below on this happening, yes this is 118 miles, (4 miles longer than Kassel-Wurzburg) so this has a minority chance of happening, but yeah, anyway until tomorrow for the Oakville Scenario Pack release, until then, it's goodbye
Good suggestion mate and if pulled off by DTG it would be a brilliant route too though like you say may be a bit on the long side.
Excellent idea and here's a problem This train is called a dual mode multiple unit DMMU ( link is from the English Wikipedia) or EDMU Electro Diesel multiple unit. Can layer to ECML South if made
DMMU is correct but BMMU is not since most Rolling Stock manufacturers use the term BMU (Bi mode Multiple Unit) like this stadler material for Class 755
