East Coast Mainline

I think that the East Coast Mainline from Kings Cross to Peterborough set in 2021 would be a great route for TSW
The trains that should come with the route should be the
Class 800

Class 387

 

This would be a good route for the game hopefully we get it sometime

 

Class 91/Mk4



It will be the first AC loco in the game in the UK.

 

It would be great but I don't think that DTG would make a route that comes with 3 trains mabey as a locomotive DLC

 

change the 800 to 91 maybe?

 

That would be my choice too. The Class 91 will be a very unique locomotive and driving experience in TSW. The Class 800s are very similar to the 395s. And the 387s are almost identical to the 377s/375s. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see the 800s too but my first choice would be 91s.

Regardless of which Intercity traction it comes with, London Kings Cross to Stevenage (27 miles) is not enough to enjoy them. It will be ok for the commuter services (Great Northern/Thameslink) but not Intercity (LNER/Grand Central/Hull trains). Most LNER services don’t even stop at Stevenage- first stop is usually Peterborough which is 76 miles. Some are even non-stop to York which is 188 miles!

Another traction that could come on the East Coast Mainline is the Class 180 operated by Grand Central and Hull trains.


Of course if you go back a few years, you’ve also got the option to add in the HSTs for both LNER (retired Dec 2019) and Grand Central (Retired Dec 2017)- some incredible looking liveries! They would compliment the 91s/800s well without too much extra effort.

 

I agree, this would be such a great route with loads of action and services.

 

You're right I will chance it from king cross to stevenage to King's cross to Peterborough
