    I’m suggesting the Trent Valley Line for TSW. The route runs from Rugby to Stafford.
    The route is 51 miles long and has 8 stations. The route is electrified using the 25 kV AC Overhead Line.
    Stations:
    1. Rugby
    2. Nuneaton
    3. Atherstone
    4. Polesworth
    5. Tamworth
    6. Lichfield Trent Valley
    7. Rugeley Trent Valley
    8. Stafford
    Rolling Stock:
    London NorthWestern Railway Class 730 Aventra EMU

    Just a note here. The 730's with LNWR have entered service, but aren't running on the Trent Valley Line yet. They only run between Northampton and Euston I believe. They entered service on June 9th this year.

    Could you provide more information? Like layers, timetable references (how many trains per hour), etc...

    The 730/2 runs the London to Northampton and Birmingham to Liverpool services. And the 730/0 is only present at Rugeley Trent Valley and Litchfield Trent Valley

    I think if Daventry freight terminal was included with a 68 this would be perfect. Probably pushing it but if it went to crewe it would open up a lot more service variation. I think aswell that the 805/807s would be a good addition. Obvious layers would be 350s, 390s and 66, but some other layers could be Flying Scotsman, Class 87 and 86, as railtours. Then maybe the 378s as I've seen them on this route going from Wembley to widnes. Other layers would be 323s at Litchfield Trent Valley and cross-country 170s at Tamworth and Nuneaton.
