You can rename the route in the Build menu within the game and it shouldn't affect anything.

One possible issue is that if the scenarios have the same GUID ID Number you'll have reason for a possible conflict. A quick edit of the folder name and the reference to it in each ScenarioProperties.xml file does the trick though, 15-20 minutes or so and you'd have all 10 sorted.

The scenarios have different GUID in each version of the route.

Simplicity itself. Open up each ScenarioProperties.xml file and add something to the scenario title (such as a full stop at the end), and save. Both names will now appear in the list (assuming that they have different GUIDs)

If the GUIDs are the same, then change one character in the one inside the ScenarioProperties.xml, save, then change the same one in the folder name (GUID)

Thanks everyone. I'll give it a go.
Update: editing the route name in the Build menu worked a treat. Everything is duly separated out again.

I think the simplest thing is to rename the route - I just added 'unbranded' to the route name of the new version, then it's easy to see which scenarios are for which version of the route. One simple edit does the job and no need to edit and xml files outside the game.

Definitely, the fact that the scenarios have unique GUIDs makes it all that's needed; there's no logic in doing more than that!
