About This Content

Experience the charm of Scotland and scenic diverse landscapes as you explore Glasgow to Dunblane and Alloa for Train Simulator from Thomson Interactive.

Originally opened in 1848 the Glasgow to Dunblane line is a key transportation route for Scotland, serving commuters and travellers for over a century. Electrification of the 35-mile route from Glasgow Queen Street to Dunblane was completed in 2019, and the 7-mile branch from Stirling to Alloa was also electrified as part of the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP). As part of this route you can enjoy new ‘Series 2’ overhead catenary which has been built with realistic detail. The signalling system has also been enhanced with “high speed approach control with aspect release” and “approach control from red” at key diverging junctions.

Start out your journey at the urban hub of Glasgow Queen Street, this iconic station has been authentically recreated for the route. As you leave Glasgow you will pass through suburban neighbourhoods, picturesque countryside and rolling hills whilst passing 70+ unique bridges and many famous landmarks like the National Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle and the Falkirk Wheel. At Stirling the line splits to both Dunblane and Alloa where your journey ends.

Today Class 385 Electric Multiple Units provide service on Glasgow to Dunblane. First used in 2018 on the route these 100 mph EMUs were built by Hitachi for ScotRail, with a total of 70 units ordered consisting of three and four car sets. This feature filled EMU includes a detailed driver cabin fitted with the latest Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) panel that differentiates between “AWS Fail to Cancel”, Overspeed and SPAD emergency events. An operational Train Management System (TMS) is also provided. The TMS includes dynamic graphics, train information, lighting control, destination selection, driver advisory system, safety prompts and more.

To add to the driving challenge “car stop” boards have been integrated at stations that dynamically provide “accuracy bonus” points based on where you stop your train.

The Class 385 and the stations on the route also include a new custom-built dynamic Passenger Information System (PIS). Once your destination is set, displays in the passenger cabins and on-board announcements will update based on your current location. On station platforms the PIS will display destination, calling stops and announcements will update passengers. These also include late running visuals and announcements if you’re not keeping to time! The manual for this route includes a detailed guide on how to implement this new PIS system in your own scenarios.
