    You might remember my previous posts about Scottish routes, if so, good for you. If not, well this my revised suggestion:

    Firstly, ignore the Newcastle Area.
    Ok, let's start with Cathcart as it's the most obvious here. I have included the two branches off of it, and if you look closely it features the 314, 380 and 320
    Ayrshire Coast Line:
    Diverse Service pattern, sees trains from Glasgow go to Ayr, Ardrossan or Largs "or the bus link to Glasgow airport" if anyone has ever ridden a train into Paisley Gilmour Street, you'll get that joke.
    Anyway, the route is stunning, has wide.stock variety and service diversity, and I think it would be a best-seller, especially if they can recreate the waves crashing over the sea wall () it makes for a good scenario too.
    North Clyde Line: If you played Suburban Glasgow, it's that except it goes to Queen Street High level and ends there.
    For other details see the map.
    Edinburgh - Dundee: Forth Road Bridge Busy Commuter and Intercity line, connects Two Cities. Other details see map.
    Kilmarnock - Carlisle: Please see TS Western Lines of Scotland. That's all I know about the line in the era in question
    Edinburgh To Glasgow: on my previous suggestion post, I posted a follow up poll, and Edinburgh-Glasgow won by a landslide. Connecting Scotland's two largest cities together, this is one of Scotland's busiest routes, and is full of frequent service. Today it only uses the class 385, however it doesn't take away from its greatness, also, if it's modern day, you get the new Glasgow Queen Street, which is a plus.
    Before anyone asks "Where are the Highland stuff" 1) Do you really think a route as long as the Highland Line is possible, and 2) Do you want to risk DTG messing it up? I know I don't.
