    I have found it pretty enjoyable, what is it you tend to look for in a line? That'd probably best help folks to determine if it's likely for you.

    So, I will say it doesn't have the gradients or variation of something like Clinchfield, if that's more to your taste.

    I don’t really mind the gradients on routes

    I'd say no, unless you have other german rolling stock to use, the 112 is awful, and the 182 is bad/mediocre, if you have the 155 or the 185 I've heard it's pretty decent for freight, not as good as RSN though. Passengers is pretty decent as well being a self contained route and having both express and stopper services, but stick to the BR146 if you have it, at least the indipendent brake works. But if you decided to drive from the cab car sadly it's not an option.

    I bought the route about an hour ago , and I’m enjoying it a lot . The 112 is excellent , the layers are good as well . Well worth the £17 I paid

    Oh well, to each their own I guess, I'm happy you like it.

    Yes, as TSW2 routes go it's pretty decent and initially fun to drive if you're not too bothered about the issues...but if you're intending to go for the longevity achievements (services + driver level) without 'cheating' or spamming a depot service (I did neither of these) then it could be a real struggle as things do get uninteresting quite quickly. Fortunately though those requirements are halved this time around :)
