Edinburgh to Glasgow - EXTRA PATHS

This mod will add a considerable number of extra paths to the Scotrail Express (Edinburgh to Glasgow) route meaning that it is now possible to create much more meaningful and challenging scenarios using the in-game tools. (Especially if you, also, use my extra formation mods).

All paths installed by this mod are immediately available for use within the normal Scenario Creation screens. You will quickly see that additional station platforms, sidings and portals are immediately selectable for start or finish points for both player or AI services. As a result player immersion is greatly improved as it is now possible to use parts of the route that were previously unavailable.

Areas that you can now incorporate within scenarios created for EDN-GLA are,

Pretty much all platforms at Edinburgh Waverley.
Haymarket PL0 and Haymarket Depot (part).
All portals around the Edinburgh area inc Musselburgh, Shotts line, Carlisle line and Fife Circle (AI only).
Edinburgh Trams line.
Various loops on the mainline.
Bo'ness Steam railway.
Portals to Stirling and the Far North (AI only).
Loops and Sidings at Greenhill Junction.
Loops and HST sidings at Cadder.
Eastfield depot (many sidings) and Refuelling points.
All portals around the Glasgow / Eastfield area.
All platforms at Queen Street.
The above is just a simply summary of what can be done. With a bit of thought quite complex scenarios can now be created with AI services interacting with the player service in much more challenging ways. I will shortly be uploading some new scenarios that have been created with this mod in place for those that wish to give them a go.

There are a great many paths contained in this mod. Hopefully they have all been named correctly but bear with me if a few errors have crept through the net. I have tried to indentify the paths that are AI only within the mod but it may be that you select a path that isn't driveable in the first few instances until you become more familiar with how the mod works. Trust me the effort is worth it.

So if you want to see Scotrail Express (EDN-GLA) in a new light then install this mod and start creating some scenarios. Give it a whirl and see how you get on.

Finally note that, although this mod was created in TSW4, it has been tested in TSW5 and seems to work OK.

Any feedback about this mod will be appreciated. It is only by hearing how well, or how badly, you have all got on with this mod that I will be able to tweak things for the better. Thanks.
