    I have only been to England once and it's almost 30 years ago, it was the time of my life being there for 2 and half weeks, the first week we were at Kibblestone scout camp, followed by a week living with a host family. So on my trip down memory lane I started thinking maybe there are some good routes for TS that represents the Staffordshire area well, preferably 30 years back and beyond, but newer representations is also welcome, the more accurate the better.

    I am looking for already existing routes which includes that area that I can purchase, I'll have a look at the route suggestion forum anyway though.

    The only route in Staffordshire that I know of is a route on Vulcan Productions of the Churnet Valley

    Thank you, and that route looks fantastic, there's only one problem, it requires a route called "Hatchet Hill Quarry" and that route seems to be pulled from the market, anyway I'll bookmark the route and hope "Hatchet Hill" will be released again, I understand there was quite a bit of issues with it so I'm not to hopefull.
    It's not always easy being a new player to TS, I don't know how many hrs I have spent scorching the internet for dependencies, but I'm finally starting to get there and have started looking at more freeware routes. Yesterday I found "South West Branch Line" by chance, and what a pleasant surprise, it looks better than most payware routes I own.

    Oh nice, I saw the link earlier but when searching using the steam client it didn't show up, I was able to purchase it trough the web browser. One step further, thank you :)

    EDIT: So I did a bit of reading and Hatchet Hill is not supposed to be for sale, according to a Jay that I understand used to work for DTG it was a mistake that it was put back into sale, probably why I couldn' find it in the client but was able to use the web browser for a spesific search/link. You can read a bit in this thread about the issue and why it wasn't intended to be sold again:
