The simulation includes 31 stations and Yorker signalling yard, with the included timetable covering the first two hours of a weekday morning in 2022 from 5am, and initially starting with empty stock movements from Eastfield Depot in the north, Yoker yard, and Shields TMD (via City Union Bridge) in the south. There are a few repeating services including:

  • Milngavie to Springburn via Anniesland and Charing Cross
  • Glasgow Queen Street High Level to Anniesland via Ashfield, make sure to route these services into Anniesland Plat 3 (the bay platform).
  • Helensburgh Central to Edinburgh via Dalmuir, Garscadden, Charing Cross.

Tips

  • Any service prefixed with 5XXX is an empty stock movement, some of these do however have timetabled stops for crew switchover or allowing passing of other services.
  • Take care when routing services towards Eastfield from Barnhill direction, the only crossover lies before Springburn.
