Cancellation
On 17 September 2009, the Scottish Government scrapped the airport branch component of the Glasgow Airport Rail Link amid concerns over the need for public spending cuts; however, some elements of the project (capacity enhancement, resignalling, and a new platform at Glasgow Central) were taken forward to completion.
As part of the driver training programme for the route and new rolling stock, design and media company TotalizeMedia were hired to create a simulation of the infrastructure. This simulation was built using a professional derivative of the railway simulator RailWorks. With the cancellation of the project, TotalizeMedia redirected the development into a home simulation title.
