    Layers:

    All Layers off of MAC & Glossop Line I suppose.

    Why this would go well in Train Sim World:

    If this route was to be created it would in my opinion be the most ambitious project yet and would be extraordinary to see in game as this route combines diesel commuter, long distance & semi fast services all in one route with a variety of services. If this was actually created and brought to TSW wow it would be very popular from players all over the country and maybe the world in my opinion with short words to have this route would be a very good asset to the train simulation world with 3 trains (first two would go well either way, ALOT of stations & milage) thank you for reading I’ve felt real ambition towards this game lately

    May I add that the trains off of this route also allow them to be layered onto other routes so it’s kind of a if this is made it will compliment this type of situation (this may be begging but if the Class 195 is made then it might aswell come in a pack with the Class 331 as let’s be honest they are virtually identical) thanks.

    JT have confirmed that for the next couple of years their focus will remain on backdated BR routes so i wouldn’t expect them to work on this

    Yes and it will be driveable between Manchester & Sheffield Via Stockport on the Liverpool - Norwich services.
