UK Train Replacement Mods

Description
These mods replace trains on various UK routes with their newer or better versions. Currently, these are:
Birmingham - Crewe: Northern Class 323
Birmingham - Crewe (Evero 2025 timetable) and Trent Valley: Northern Class 323 and Direct Rail Services Class 66
Riviera Line: Direct Rail Services Class 66
Unlike some other similar replacement mods, these also change the requirements for the layers to activate - you no longer need to own the older or worse version for the better one to appear.
How it's done
- Edit the formation asset in the usual way - replace any file paths (usually FRMs and/or RVDs) and plugin names of the original train with the ones of the replacement train
- Ensure that the 'RequiredDLCPlugins' now refer to the replacement train instead of the original - this should be automatic when changing the plugin name if using UAssetGUI
- Edit the timetable in the same way as step 1 - here it'll just be RVDs and plugin names
There is a downside to this approach - if you're replacing multiple trains and requirements on one timetable then only the one that comes first alphanumberically (ie smallest numbers first) will be replaced. Replacing trains without changing requirements is not affected by this.
