Tsw Edinburgh Waverly - Glasgow Queen Street/central

I have a route I would like to suggest.
This would be a route Dlc With 2 routes in it.

Edinburgh -Glasgow Central - Glasgow Queen Street ​

1. Edinburgh Waverly to Glasgow Queen Street Via Falkirk High
2. Edinburgh Waverly to Glasgow Central Via Carstairs

Rolling Stock​

Class 380 (ScotRail) (would only run on Shotts line+layers)
Class 385 (ScotRail) (Shotts and Falkirk line)
Class 66 (Freight) (fright routes+layers)
Intercity 125 (ScotRail Inter7City)
Intercity 225 (LNER)
Class 220 (CrossCountry)
Class 221 (Crosscountry)
Class 397 (TransPennine Express)
Class 390 Pendilino (Avanti West Coast)
*Base Trains in Bold
**Other trains may come as DLC for this route

Why?​

The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Routes are some of the biggest and most used railways in Scotland. This should have been the first Scottish Dlc I think but Dovetail Games chose Cathcart Circle. This route would be modern 2019-2022 and would be the first game Dlc to feature the New Class 385 AT200 trains. This would also put the Class 380 and Class 385 on Cathcart Circle when purchased. This route is a High Speed route feturng several stops. It features 3 biggest stations in Scotland. Route length is 42 miles.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and if you would want to see this in the game.

 

Yes please I want this RIGHT NOW!!!!

 

I’m not sure I think you got it mixed up eith the LGV route but it’s 100km not Miles

 

Bring it on and for the Class 380 has to layer to Cathcart Circle in order to make it populated. I checked RTT for Cathcart and there are 2Nx services that are Class 380 operated one of these is 2N34 17:37 Glasgow Central to Neilston

 

Oops sorry

 

Do you know what services the Class 385 operates on CCL?

 

I think it’s just round the circle at peak times

 

Ok, Thanks derek#2931

 

I have also posted this on https://forums.rivet-games.com/foru...20-tsw-edinburgh-glasgow-central-queen-street.

 

Stirling, actually.

 

Perhaps we could get a different freight locomotive. I do like the Class 66. A Class 60 or 56 could be good substitutes for the Class 66.

 

Sorry. I thought it was Edinburgh. Still though. Scotland So maybe

 

That's a good idea

 

Look here for details on freight trains on the line: https://www.railscot.co.uk/companies/E/Edinburgh,_Suburban_and_Southside_Junction_Railway/

 

No

 

Probs

 

I ment no probs but pressed enter

 

If they make this they should make Glasgow Central more busy with more people and ai trains

 

Yk tho it ain’t real until there’s passengers with trackys and adidas caps walking in groups of 20 XD

 

Also in the CCL scenario where you start at sheilds tmd they should replace the acl/icl AI with 380s

 

Lol

 

They should also have some British transport police visible in the station

 

I think 380s would be a good Idea I just want them to get the sounds right and not mess alot of things up. Also I'm playing cathcart just now and they need more trains more frequently just like on London commuter.

 

I hope the get the sounds right and not just reuse the BR talent sounds. They sound simmelar but not the same. The Classic whining sound as it comes into the station is Iconic and they shouldn't mess it up.

 

I’m now expecting to hear talent motors when accelerating or de accelerating XD

 

The 385 on the other hand they could reuse the sounds from the electrostars

 

yea, lol. I go to troon expecting to hear a talent and somehow shock myself when hearing the real sound

 

For the Class 385 they could re use the door sounds from Isle of Wight 484

 

Class 387 doors sounds are the same on the Class 380

 

I hope they get the sounds right and I hope they make this

Edinburgh Waverly is one of the bussiness stations in Scotland with trains running every 5 mins

 

Great suggestion, however its rare that 380s do operate Edinburgh-queen st services, though they do operate edinburgh-central occasionally so that would maybe work, apart from that i would love to see this in game

 

Definitely, the 350 sounds on tsc would be perfect Along with 387 door sounds.

 

Yea, I haven't heard the 350 sounds on TSC but I hope it's realistic

 

This could be one of the base routes for TSW3

 

Amazing suggestion! Lot of lovely rolling stock can be included and even layered/subbed into Glashow Cathcart Cirlce with is very much needed [imo]! The route itself looks and sounds very promising too, I think this would be the next perfectly Scotrail route

 

Thanks for your response. I agree with what you said and hope it gets added soon.

 

How would it do the Cathcart Circle is it replacing the 314 or a 2019 timetable with 385 doing the Peak trips like 2N34?

 

I think 2019 timetable with the Class 385 at peak and the class 380 a the rest of the time would be good.

 

Dovetail should create a separate 2019 timetable like in eastcostway.

 

We know it's not a base route for TSW3 but it could still come as a DLC. Maybe even all the lines from Glasgow to Edinburgh concidering the New route lenth that DTG are making

 

I think my dream came true! It looks like Edinburgh Waverly to Glasgow Queen Street via Falkirk High is Comming to TSW3 thanks to Rivet Games!!!!

 

Hopefully you get your Class 380 which could come as a Loco DLC at some point. I can’t wait to see Edinburgh Waverly in TSW. Also Haymarket.

 

Fingers Crossed! Although it's unlikely though, because it's rivet games and they rarely do two trains.

 

Yea! It'll be great! I think half the reason they included the lifts and escalators was for Waverly. They have so many going up to the walkway going above the platforms.

I also hope they include the gaurds pannel on the class 385! I saw it in action at Queen Street! I just hope they don't mess up the sounds. I think it might get anounced on Thursday!

 

Aw man that would be great if they announced it on Thursday. Possibly a January release after Christmas and new year. A great start to 2023 I would say.

 

Great Idea! I could see this route in the game one way or another.

 

Completely agree
