Introduction Hello and welcome to another suggestion! Today I'm back suggesting the Scottish Highland Mainline from Inverness to Perth. This line is one of the biggest in Scotland and one of the most scenic. Speed past moutains, lochs and the beautifull east coast whilst traveing on jointed track! Start your journey today in TrainSimWorld4® Scottish East Coast Highland Mainline. The Route This is a 71 Mile Route travelling from Dundee to Aberdeen This route has 16 Stations and the whole route following the coast up to Aberdeen. There is 67 Trains per day inclduing the Caledonian Sleeper Service. Journey times are around 1h 6m. There are 4 Operators on this line: ScotRail CrossCountry LNER Caledonian Sleeper The Trains Class 158 Class 170 Class 43 HST Additional DLC: Class 800 Azuma Class 220&221 Voyager Class 73 Caledonian Sleeper Scenarios Coatal Recovery Drive this class 170 on a journey from Dundee to Arbroath adn back but end the service at Broughty Ferry due to flooding.

Conclusion I think this is a must have Scottish Highland route for the game and could be done really well! Thanks for reading, please let me know your thoughts below. P.S: Sorry about the lesser amount of detail on this one. I didn't have alot of time to research it but i do love this route and know enough to know that the scenary is absolutly gorgeous! We need this route. Just saying.

Great suggestion mate, this would be a great route even though it is modern due to the sheer beauty of the scenery.
I can only say yes to be honest, the scenarios are different to my ideas but are great nonetheless One thing though, the Class 73 would be a better option for the Sleeper as it operates the Sleeper as of today
Cheers! Wasn't entirely sure as I thought it was only the West Highland Sleeper that used the 73. I will update that.
The Class 73/9 operates all the Sleeper routes with the exception of the Inverness portion where the 73/9 is coupled to a Class 66
Brilliant suggestion! Would love to have all the stock listed in game because they could bring more life to other stations but would love for this route to come into the game especially when we already have part of the ECML would be nice for more parts of it.
Nope, north of Dunblane/South Gyle isn't electrified so that wouldn't happen The 73 replaces the 92 at Edinburgh Waverley
I think this is a good suggestion however I prefer the Edinburgh to Dundee part of the route. It would be better as we already have Waverley
Yup. I prefer that as well tbh. I'm just ticking off another Scottish suggestion on my to do list. This is still a real nice route though tbf, it's just like, cummon, forth bridge AND Tay bridge!! Does it get much better?
