    The Inverclyde Line is a railway line running from Glasgow Central Station through Paisley (Gilmour Street) and a series of stations to the south of the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde, terminating at Gourock and Wemyss Bay, where it connects to Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services. The line has been in operation since the 1840s between Glasgow and Greenock and was the first passenger service to follow the River Clyde to the coast. The line was electrified in 1967. The total route length is about 58.17 km. (36.14 mi)

    Much desired Scottish route with a decent network of lines and some interesting scenery. The Class 380 would be the most suitable inclusion, with the Class 385 substituting in. The Class 314 could also layer on if set pre-2019. Both the 3-car and 4-car versions of the Class 380 should feature, as these run along the neighbouring Ayrshire Coast line as far as Paisley Gilmour Street.

    Replying to this to get it in the spotlight. This could be a great route for tsw5. I’d say the 320 and 318 should be included rolling stock, with the 380 and 385 layering in from their respective DLC’s. Route hopping at Glasgow and the yard to the west of course. 4 trains per hour (as per the wiki). This is a well desired line, and one I’d potentially pay big bucks for if done well, especially if the 318 and 320 are BOTH included to add even more rolling stock variety for scotrail
