    The branch to Shrewsbury.

    This would be good for:
    Locals
    wmr enthusiasts
    Francis
    Etc

    I know its not a scenic route, but thats not important, If this was added with the walsall branch, you could do services from Walsall to Shrewsbury

    More will probably be added to this post later, its 2am

    It would be lovely to see some suggestions that aren't part of or branch lines of a mainline that is already over-subscribed in TSW.

    In the same way that TSW creators gave Southern Region a rest for a bit, it's time for London Midland to be given a rest for a few years please. Desiros, Pendulinos, the WCML and Preston circa 1987 are all getting a bit samey and boring now.

    ECML Doncaster - York / Newcastle. York section plain really Ai coming in from all over shop. Newcastle section rather heavy minus Trans Pennine Express.

    Could link with Darlington route from former package. Station anyway.

    Newcastle - Edinburgh without East Linton & Reston.

    Branch non ECML Doncaster - Hull / Hull - York. Be a dream has not a lot is set to change in area following government rejection. Think last thing that happened was a resurface of Howden station by Hull Trains former person Martjin Gilbert. Can't see much scope of a Hull to Scarborough even though Hull Trains serves Cottingham & Beverley stations once of twice maybe even four times a day depending how you wish to look at it.
