ScotRail Express: Edinburgh - Glasgow

Rapid inter-city action in state-of-the-art traction awaits! Discover Scotland’s two biggest cities and take charge of dense commuter services on ScotRail’s principal rail line. The modern Class 385 is ready for service in Train Sim World 3: ScotRail Express: Edinburgh - Glasgow.

Discover Scotland’s first inter-city railway! Out of the 5 railway lines between Edinburgh and Glasgow, the most important for inter-city travel has always been the line via Falkirk High. Being the most direct and with 8 intermediate stations en route, trains have been offering a shuttle-like service between the two cities for the past 180 years.

Brand new in every right, enter the ScotRail BR Class 385! Built between 2015 and 2019, this fleet of “eXpress” multiple units were designed to overhaul and expand ScotRail’s electric fleet. Following an innovative modernisation of Scotland’s Central Belt, which saw electrification come to many key lines, the Class 385 entered service in 2018, and since has allowed for fully electric services on the mainline and brought new traction to existing lines.

Adorned in “eXpress” branding, these 100mph capable units make light work of the Edinburgh - Glasgow via Falkirk High route. Platform extensions allow for 8-car trains to carry up to 456 passengers, 45% more than the previous 6-car diesel fleet. There are both 3 and 4-car variants of the Class 385 for different uses across the network, with a total of 70 now in daily service.
