Fife Circle 2024

Features

This timetable is fully built from scratch using the early 2024 working time timetable for the region. Some very minor alterations have been made due to gameplay considerations, or route limitations.

The current feature set includes:

• 166 playable Class 170 services. Including all of the Dundee, Aberdeen, Cowdenbeath, Glenrothes services. Several ECS moves.
• 98 playable Class 385/1 services, comprising of the Edinburgh to Glasgow express services and ECS moves. (ScotRail Express: Edinburgh - Glasgow Route Add-On required).
• 68 playable Class 385/0 services, comprising the Edinburgh to Dunblane services drivable as far as Polmont. (ScotRail Express: Edinburgh - Glasgow Route Add-On required).
• 20 playable Scotrail HST (with custom livery, base made by Tom Hill) services from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. Drivable as far as Markinch. Creative license was taken on these to increase gameplay, as in reality only one stops at Markinch, so they would all have been AI. (Great Western Express Route Add-On required).
• 8 playable LNER class 800/1 services from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, playable between Edinburgh and Markinch. These services require the swapping between electric and diesel mode at Haymarket. (East Coast Main Line: Peterborough - Doncaster Route Add-On required).
• 2 Playable Flying Scotsman Rail tours. These Fife Circular services run the entire loop, and take around two hours to complete. (LNER Class A3 60103 Flying Scotsman Steam Loco Add-On required).
• This gives a total playable service count of 362.
• Full station PIS with all stops added for all services, AI and player.

AI only services:

• All the Lumo services, including a custom livery (base made by Tom Hill).
• LNER AI services to 10am.
• All of the 170 Tweedbank services. (Some have been disabled due to a missing signal on platform 4 of Waverley).

Current known limitations:

• I have been unable to do as complicated Haymarket Depot ECS as I would have liked. This is due to the majority of the depot being bugged/missing signals/pathing. ECS moves only come out of a limited area of the depot currently, I can’t do anything about this, Rivet are the only ones who can.
• There are currently less coupled 170 services than there should be, this is due to the 170 being unable to be uncoupled by the AI presently. This will be re-enabled if Rivet fix it.
• The automatic announcements for the 170 do not work in my timetable. I’ve tried various things, but have yet been unable to find out how to enable them.
• Passengers are not present on the E2G section currently, due to some issues with the merging of routes..

Future Plans

The current plan for the next version is to include the following:
• At least 2 more playable rail tours comprising of diesel loco hauled passenger carriages.
• At least 2 playable RHTT services.
• Putting in all of the missing LNER AI services.
• Potentially adding in the Glasgow Central AI services.
• Putting in as much of the real life tram timetable as the signalling/pathing will allow me.

Special Thanks

A huge, special thanks to Joethefish for helping me with my numerous questions and the advice given that without which, I would not have got this working as well as I hoped to.
Special thanks to Muff, who without his editor patch cooking and pack would be significantly more time consuming.
