A little more info about the route and rolling stock would sell your idea a bit better.

Either the ‘Frankston’ or ‘Werribee’ Lines on the Melbourne suburban rail network in Australia (it’s 42.7 kilometres from Flinders Street to Frankston, and 34.1 kilometres from Flinders Street to Werribee). Or better yet, you could combine the two and have a big 76.8 kilometre-long mainline, and add the 3.5 kilometre-long Williamstown Branch along with the 30.7 kilometre-long Frankston to Stony Point extension to make the route even longer and more interesting.

These lines all use 5ft 3inch gauge track, and the route is entirely electrified (on 1,500 volts DC) except for the Frankston to Stony Point section, which is served by V-Line ‘Sprinter’ diesel railcars. Williamstown is the terminus of a short branch that leaves the Werribee line at Newport, and when I visited Melbourne in 2013, the branch was only served by a 3-car ‘Comeng’ EMU running as a shuttle down from Newport.

This add-on could be called ‘Melbourne Commuter’ or something of that nature, and the included motive power should be the aforementioned ‘Sprinters’ along with the Siemens ‘Nexas’ and Alstom X’Trapolis 100 EMUs (the Comeng could be added later as another add-on; same thing that was done with the LIRR M3). The ideal time period for this route could be some time between 2013 and 2021, or any time prior to the rebuilding of North Williamstown station.

I thought this would be a good idea for a TSW route because a) we currently only have one non-standard gauge route in the game - the Arosa Line, b) we still don't have any Australian routes, c) you'd get to run both electric and diesel units on different parts of the same route and d) I was fascniated by the suburban lines in Melbourne the one time I went there, and thought it'd be cool to see them recreated in TSW.

You should do Glasgow to East Kilbride and Kilmarnock.
But please include more detail into your suggestion
