The SPT area completely dispensed of guards after the Bellgrove train crash in 1989 caused by driver SPAD and guard error also the junction was modified to a single lead junction in 1987 had contributed to the crash.
Scotstounhill station I know it very well from my days when I volunteered at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, in 2026 the station is going to be packed with passengers and frontline volunteers as Scotstoun stadium when Glasgow hosts the Commonwealth Games again.
The old platform just before coming to Partick was Partickhill station which closed in 1979 in order for Partick station to be an interchange with Partick Subway station which replaced Merkland Street Subway station and a bus station outside. At the time while GGPTE (Forerunner to SPT) were refurbishing the subway from ground up they were also rebuilding the Partick to Rutherglen suburban line (The Argyle Line) with British Rail. As a new station was built at Bridgeton. Bridgeton Central terminus station which was a spur after Bellgrove closed in 1979 and was retained as a stabling yard. The building was repurposed as a betting shop and now a mini market. It was the removal of tracks at Bridgeton that led to the Bellgrove crash.
318s and 150s looked much better with the middle door at front! But I guess they rather have cab space for the drivers instead of the passenger link walk through.
I ❤ trains, good to see some stations that I'm familiar with

The 380 on Train Sim Classic was on the GARL concept route a cancelled spur from Paisley Gilmour Street to Glasgow Airport.
I must admit I prefer the older looking trains, 314&318 are my favourites. I just love the box look of them
I agree with you
"....Kilpatrick" "Poor Patrick" haha

You sure can see it, not very far away!

Fair enough
Milngavie is pronounced **Mill guy**. Weird yes, but it is definetly pronounced this way.
